Public changelog
What changed, in plain English.
Regular updates to WaveSites, WaveCheck, hosting and support. Written for business owners, not developers.
Current release: Tidalux v1.49.10
Update Polish Flagship release
September 2026
15 releases
You can now set up a tidalux.link address without a website. Pay once, print the QR, then point it at a new page when the old one dies.
The short address never changes. There is no monthly fee for this print.
Print once, change later
Create an account, pay £10, and download a print-safe QR. Sign back in to move the destination, or put an old page back. The printed code stays live.
You can see if a domain looks free, then we register it for you after the invoice is paid. Hosting and the name stay on one bill.
A name check, not a shop
On the hosting domains page, search the name you want. If it looks free, talk to us. We send the invoice first, then register it quickly. We do not publish a self-serve price list for endings.
Public pages now talk like a studio: UK hosting, pages that feel instant, and a person behind the assistant.
How we build
That page now talks about UK hosting, pages that feel instant, invoices that add up, and an assistant with a person behind it.
Hosting says what you feel
UK data centres, backups and a named team. Cookie help names a security token, not a framework.
The rest of the public site
About, WaveAI, WaveCheck, Practical AI and the public guides now use the same studio English: UK hosting, a small snippet on your site, spend limits you can feel.
Our work now groups real websites, web apps, mobile apps and platforms, so you can look at the kind of build you actually need.
Every example is a live piece of work. Empty groups stay hidden until there is something honest to show.
See the kind of thing you want
Client sites, our own products and the platforms we have engineered now sit on one page. You can pick website, web app, mobile app or platform, and open the ones that are still live.
Tapping a link to a part of a page eases you there and stops the heading just under the menu.
The offset matches the real header, and a second nav when there is one.
Section links clear the menu
Home, WaveSites, WaveCheck, WaveAI, About and Support now stop on the heading you asked for, with a short glide. The menu stays put while you travel, so the landing does not jump.
The WaveCheck PDF now reads like a letter: your score, what we found, and one next step.
A report you can actually read
The download from a WaveCheck is a simple page. Score at the top, findings in plain English, then a start if you want a site you own.
The WaveSites start page opens the short brief, so you can name the business and see a private draft.
Start a private draft
WaveSites start on tidalux.io opens the brief as usual. Nothing goes live until you choose.
The small-screen menu stays open while you scroll, with a calmer list you can read to the bottom.
On a phone or tablet, Menu now opens a full list you can actually read. The bar at the bottom is a simple row of destinations, not five little boxes.
Scroll the menu without it closing
Pulling the list down keeps the menu open unless you swipe from the very top, the same way a sheet on a phone should.
Company and Appearance stay readable
The last rows stay clear, without a fade or a bouncing arrow. Appearance sits next to Close, and the free check is the one clear button at the bottom.
The support centre now answers the same way the homepage does: fewer questions, in plainer words.
Billing help talks about cancelling a plan, not a subscription, and the extra links sit on the words rather than a floating line.
Questions people actually ask
The long list on Support is shorter now. Answers point at the pricing page, the status page and a person, instead of raw web addresses or old product names.
A human is still one tap away
Under the answers you can talk to a person or open a ticket. Those links underline the words, not a tall empty box.
Company and Our work stay readable at the bottom of the phone menu, and old team links still find Connor and Chloe.
The contact form also leaves the newsletter box unchecked until you choose it.
The last rows stay visible
Company and Our work stay readable at the bottom of the phone menu, without a fade or an extra chevron on top.
Team links that still work
A guessed address such as /team/connor now takes you to the real profile. The contact form does not tick the newsletter box for you.
In-page links now stop just below the header, instead of hiding under the menu or landing a block too high.
A link to a part of a page should show that part, with the sticky menu counted in.
Section links clear the menu
Tapping a link to a part of a page, such as About, WaveAI, WaveCheck, Support or the homepage, now stops that section just below the menu. The offset matches the real header, and a second nav when there is one.
Header menus stay solid over the page, and a few public buttons now do what they say.
The phone menu also stacks WaveSites extras in one tidy list.
Menus stay solid
More and Company open on a solid panel that is easy to read, the same way the basket already was.
Buttons that match the job
The site-speed check runs from the form. Hosting invites a conversation until checkout is ready. WaveSites demo labels stay honest.
The basket now sits on pricing and extras, not over the phone menu while you are just reading.
If you are putting an order together it is still there. On WaveSites, WaveCheck and the rest of the site it only comes back once something is actually in it.
Basket on pricing, not over the menu
If the basket is empty it stays off WaveSites and the rest of the site. It sits on pricing and extras so you can add a plan, and it comes back on other pages once you have something to check out.
Signed-in visitors see their name without a duplicate Sign in button.
The More menu stacks WaveSites extras in one tidy list.
Sign in hides when you are already in
If the header already shows your name, Sign in now steps out of the way. Guests still see Sign in as soon as the page loads.
More menu without the gap
Booking, review cards, and QR now sit in one tidy column under On your WaveSite today. Hosting and By need sit beside that list instead of leaving a hole.
About us now says the quiet part: Tidalux is a website studio, and an app studio.
Apps we make ourselves sit alongside WaveSites and WaveAI.
Website studio, app studio
The about page, and a quiet note on the homepage, now say we make our own apps the same way we make Tidalux products. No extra shop window, just the honest shape of the studio.
August 2026
132 releases
Your light, dark and system choice now stays consistent as you move around Tidalux.
We also repaired a transaction screen issue that could stop page controls responding.
Themes stay with each area
The website ambience, your account theme and client portal choice are now kept separately. Your chosen account appearance follows you across Books and operations screens.
Transaction tools stay responsive
Delete confirmations with extra care notes no longer interrupt other controls on a transaction page.
The pill bar under the main header on pricing and product pages is now a solid strip, so headings stay behind it as you scroll.
The WaveSites page also stays up if a background lookup fails, instead of showing an error.
The second bar stays readable
On pricing, features and other marketing pages, the second navigation bar no longer turns see-through when you scroll. Headings stay behind it, not mixed through the pills.
WaveSites keeps loading
If a helper lookup behind the WaveSites page fails, you still get the page, with the honest fallback copy, rather than a blank error.
The homepage WaveCheck demonstration now shows one scene at a time: the scan list, then the score bars and finding.
The walkthrough now shows one scene at a time, the way a real check would.
The WaveCheck demo stays readable
On the homepage, the illustrative WaveCheck walkthrough now swaps the scan list for the score bars when the sample result appears, instead of painting both in the same space.
The public site now has steadier mobile navigation, clearer next steps, richer product demonstrations and a guided route from a WaveSites idea to a private preview.
Less chrome, less repetition, and more of the product working in front of you.
Navigation that stays out of the way
The mobile bar now respects the safe area at the bottom of the screen, keeps its position while you scroll, and gives WaveAI a proper place instead of floating over the page.
Product stories you can control
WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck now show longer, more realistic illustrative walkthroughs with chapter controls. They pause when out of view and settle cleanly when motion is reduced.
A private WaveSites preview, step by step
The WaveSites brief now explains the path from a free check or a new idea through visual choices, a private draft, human review, your own domain and optional WaveAI.
The client portal now keeps light and dark mode consistent, with clearer menus and linked breadcrumbs on deeper pages.
The same calm controls, whichever screen or theme you use.
Light and dark mode now agree
We fixed combinations that could leave text hard to read inside menus and status labels. Portal surfaces now use one shared set of colours and controls in both themes.
Deeper pages are easier to leave
Linked breadcrumbs now show where you are on layered portal pages, so returning to the previous section takes one clear click.
Notifications and account access now feel consistent across Tidalux, with a calmer inbox and a clear signed-in state on the main website.
Less hunting, more continuity.
A calmer notification studio
Notifications now open in a spacious side panel across staff and client workspaces. Updates are grouped clearly, unread items are easier to scan, and secondary actions stay out of the way until needed.
The website knows when you are signed in
When you visit the main Tidalux website with an active staff or client session, the navigation now gives you a private route back to your workspace and notifications. Personal details never become part of the public page cache.
If WaveCheck finds a lot wrong, the next step is now a 15 minute call rather than a product page. Tell us a couple of times that work and we will reply with a slot.
A low score is a conversation, not a catalogue.
Priority fixes get a call
A WaveCheck score in the Priority fixes band now suggests a 15 minute call. There is no live calendar and no countdown. You write, a person replies with a time.
After a free WaveCheck you can ask us to keep the report, once. The score still sits on the page if you skip it.
The check is still free to read. Keeping the PDF is optional, and we only ask once.
A quiet ask, never a wall
When the score lands, we may ask once whether you want us to keep the report. You can say no and keep reading. We will not ask again on this browser.
New articles now appear on the public map that assistants read, and search engines are told about them the next morning.
If we published something, it should be findable.
Assistants can see the writing
The public map we publish for AI assistants now lists the articles page and the latest published pieces, with their real titles. Drafts stay off that list.
Fresh articles reach search in the morning
Each morning we already tell search engines that the main pages changed. That note now includes the newest published articles, so a fresh piece does not wait to be rediscovered.
Every public footer now points at Companies House for Tidalux Ltd, and sister products name the Birmingham office. We are based around Malvern. There is no home address on the site.
If you needed to check the company, the directors, or the public address, it is in the footer.
Companies House from the footer
The legal column and the bottom of every page now link to our Companies House record, company 17019367. That is the public way to confirm directors and filings.
Sister products still mean Tidalux
UK Dev Suite on odrix.io, WaveBook, and the rest now carry the same Tidalux Ltd line: registered office in Birmingham, B3 1QS, studio around Malvern. WaveCheck, WaveSites and WaveAI stay the products we sell here.
UK Dev Suite is on Our work
UK Dev Suite, our everyday UK answers API, now sits on the Our work page with the rest of the family. Same company, different product, not a WaveSites plan.
UK Dev Suite, our own answers API, is now linked from the footer and About. Same company, different product. Not a WaveSites plan.
If you wanted everyday UK facts as HTTP, it has a name and a door.
UK Dev Suite on the site
The footer Explore list and the About page now link to odrix.io. That is our answers API for bank holidays, postcodes, weather and the like. It is not a WaveSites add-on and it is not sold from this checkout.
Opening a support ticket now flags website, email or service outages, tells you we are looking into it straight away, and pings the Tidalux desk on the staff bell and browser push.
If something is down, that should not sit in a quiet inbox.
Say what is down
The support form now asks whether your website, email or another service is down. Those tickets skip the how-to reply and go to the desk as urgent, with a priority flag staff can see.
A first reply, then a person
Every new ticket gets an immediate note that we are looking into it. Simple how-to questions can still get a short WaveAI answer. Staff replies also appear in your portal notifications.
Your name in the portal corner now opens an account menu, so you can change theme, open settings, or log out. The top bar is quieter: search and notifications only.
Clicking your name should do something obvious.
Log out from your name
The portal account menu now opens when you click your name. Theme, settings and log out live there. If the menu ever fails, Settings still has a log out button.
Fewer unmarked icons
The top bar no longer repeats the sidebar as a row of icons. Search and notifications stay. Everything else is in the side menu, with words.
WaveSites extras are ready to attach: review requests, held booking times, a printed code you can repoint, and a text when an enquiry lands. They sit on your site, not as separate shops. Prices stay on the pricing page until they are set.
Add what you need to the site you already have. We will not sell a second checkout for the same job.
Extras on your WaveSite
Owners can add extras on a WaveSite. Collection emails after a job, a held time when the calendar add-on is on, a printed code you can point somewhere new, and an optional text when an enquiry lands. Email still goes out if a text cannot. Prices stay on the pricing page and only appear in the extras shop once they are set.
Plan cards are shorter, the top menu stays in one layer, and WaveSites demos open from a preview menu instead of a row of industry pills.
Choosing a plan, a page, or a demo should feel obvious on the first look.
Prices you can scan
Each WaveSites plan now shows a short list of what you get and one way to start. Founding offer copy sits once above the row, not repeated on every card.
Menus that stay out of each other's way
Opening More, Company or the basket closes the others. Hover and current-page highlights now fill the same width in those lists, so a short label does not look like a different control.
Demos you can actually browse
The WaveSites demo bar is one short strip. Browse demos opens a preview of each layout. Edit me sits in that bar with real on and off switches, not a second bar at the bottom of the page.
The billing page now shows the real outstanding amount, with one pay button when a bill is waiting. A short all-set note replaces the old celebration card.
The amount due should be a figure, not a placeholder.
Outstanding is a real figure
Billing now shows what you owe, then a pay button if an invoice is waiting. Extra figures, payments and plan tools stay behind Show.
A quieter welcome
When everything is connected, the portal home offers a short all-set note you can dismiss. It no longer sits as a second call to action on top of pay or invoices.
The billing page now keeps payments, card account, plans and extras behind one Show control. Getting started only appears when your portal desk is still empty.
If you came to pay a bill, that should be the whole first screen.
Extras wait until you ask
Pay, then outstanding, then invoices. Payment history, your card account, the current plan and extras now sit behind Change plan and extras.
Getting started only when you are new
The four-step tour stays on the portal home while there is nothing due, nothing paid, and no live services. Once you have a bill or a service, the tour steps aside so the next payment is clear.
The portal billing page now leads with one outstanding figure. On a phone, the bar stays on Dashboard, Invoices and Support. Referrals and settings sit behind Account.
Paying a bill should start with what you owe, not a wall of equal cards.
One outstanding figure first
Billing now shows what is outstanding, then a pay prompt if you need one. Open invoices, services and credit stay under More figures. Changing plan and extras remains behind Show.
Fewer tabs on your phone
The portal phone bar is Dashboard, Invoices and Support. Billing, products, referrals and settings stay in the side menu, the Account group, and search.
Your portal home now shows one next step, then invoices and renewals. Products and plan extras sit behind a simple Show control.
If you log in to pay a bill or check a renewal, the first screen should feel like a desk, not a control panel.
One next step on the portal home
The dashboard greets you and offers one action: pay what is outstanding, or pick up where you left off. Invoice and renewal lists stay in view. WaveAI, WaveCheck, hosting and extras open when you ask for them.
Billing without a wall of plans
Pay, your current plan, and card account access stay on the billing page. Changing plan, top-ups and bolt-ons now sit behind Change plan and extras, so the page is easier to scan.
Marketing footer links and WaveSites showcase controls respond when you tap them.
If you tried to tap a footer link on tidalux.io or use the WaveSites showcase lab bar, clicks should land where you aim.
Marketing footer links respond to clicks
Footer links on tidalux.io were sometimes ignored because the main page content sat on top of the footer in the browser paint order. The footer now stacks correctly so every link opens reliably.
WaveSites showcase lab bar
On the industry showcase demos, the closed editor panel no longer blocks clicks on the page beneath it. The panel only captures pointer input when you open it.
Home, WaveAI, WaveCheck and /wavesites/start keep content-sized heroes so demos and next steps sit nearer the fold.
If you are starting a brief, comparing assistants or running a free site check, the first screen should not bury the next step under a full viewport of hero chrome.
Content-sized heroes on key product pages
/waveai and /wavecheck no longer stretch the hero to a full screen on desktop. The live demo and scan form stay visible sooner when you zoom out or use a shorter window.
Home and WaveSites start demo caps
The homepage and /wavesites/start cap hero demos at a sensible height instead of filling most of the viewport, so the engine section and brief steps appear sooner on shorter screens.
Section headers and hero typography
Marketing section kickers breathe with clearer spacing, live status pills use readable ink on a muted accent tint, and hero headlines balance more cleanly without awkward line breaks.
The WaveSites showcase lab bar is calmer, /wavesites/start breathes better, and Articles opens in two columns by default.
If you are trying the industry demos or starting a WaveSites brief, the first screen should feel less cramped and scroll more predictably.
A tidier WaveSites showcase bar
The demo lab bar keeps industry links and theme controls on one row, hides the long intro copy from the top strip, and scrolls in-page anchors with the bar height in mind. Horizontal wheel scrolling works on the industry strip and site nav.
WaveSites start and Articles defaults
/wavesites/start has more room between the hero rule, chips and disclaimer, a readable primary button on teal, and smaller background orbs. Articles and the blog index now default to two columns on desktop instead of three.
Pricing and footer fixes
Product pages such as /pricing no longer force a full-screen hero, so plan cards sit nearer the fold when you zoom out. Footer navigation columns stay open so every link loads reliably in Chrome.
Index pages like Articles, Docs and Changelog start close under the header, without a full-screen gap.
Product pages such as WaveSites, WaveAI and Pricing still open with a full first screen. Browse pages now sit closer to the reading list or grid you came for.
Compact heroes on browse pages
Articles, Changelog, Docs, Search and other index-style pages now size their hero to the copy and stage, not an empty viewport. Product landings keep the taller first screen with the live demo on the right.
Reviews, bookings and link sections are described clearly across the site, with a new bolt-ons catalogue and calmer marketing chrome.
If you are comparing WaveSites plans, you should see what ships in Studio today and what is still on the roadmap. The header, pricing page and home engine now tell the same story.
A bolt-ons catalogue you can trust
A new /wavesites/bolt-ons page lists reviews, booking enquiries and link plus QR as sections on your site today. WaveReviews collection, WaveBookings automation and WaveLink dynamic QR stay on the roadmap, labelled honestly.
Marketing chrome that matches
The header flyout, pricing table and home engine ring now use the same section names and anchors. WaveAI's launcher orb has a softer halo. Docs on mobile get a proper nav drawer.
Showcase heroes stay inside the first screen, and the demo lab bar follows each site's colours in light, dark and auto.
If you open a WaveSites industry demo, the hero should no longer push the main buttons below the fold when the highlights panel is long. The top demo bar should also feel like part of the site you are previewing.
Heroes that fit the first screen
On desktop, industry demo heroes now cap to the space below the sticky header and demo bar. Long highlights panels scroll inside the card, so Get in touch and the other main buttons stay visible.
A calmer, colour-aware demo bar
The WaveSites showcase bar picks up each demo's ink, surface and accent tokens, including when you switch light, dark or auto. Industry links and theme chips have more room to breathe.
The flagship WaveSites demo now has a slide-out editor, and Studio remembers icon style, section icons and a paid heading glow.
If you are trying WaveSites, tap Edit me on the showcase and change colour, type and sections on the page. If you already have a site, those same choices save and publish. Reviews stay as cards you write, and bookings stay as an enquiry we email to confirm.
A live editor on the showcase
The Willow & Bloom demo now opens a quiet sidebar so you can try colour, type, icons and sections. Locked tiles follow real plan limits. Ordinary customer sites do not get this overlay.
Studio keeps the look you chose
Section icons, icon shape and a Flow-and-above heading glow now save with the site. Launch stays clear and honest about what is included. Bookings, reviews and found-us links live inside WaveSites, not as separate products.
Links and chips have a little more room
Footer lists, hero chips and in-page links sit a little further apart so they are easier to read and tap, especially on a phone.
Marketing heroes are wider, guided demos sit taller beside the copy, and FAQ sections read in a clearer two-column layout on desktop.
If you are browsing WaveAI, WaveSites, pricing or support, the pages should feel less cramped. Section links should land where you expect, under the sticky nav, and buttons should be easier to tap.
Wider heroes and taller demos
Product heroes use the full width on large screens, and the live demos beside the copy stretch taller so you can see more of the product without scrolling past the headline.
FAQs, nav links and buttons
FAQ sections split the heading and answers into two columns on desktop. Sticky section nav shows a thin progress bar as you scroll, in-page links account for the header height, and ghost buttons plus comparison links have comfortable padding again.
The homepage demo and your private WaveSites preview show the site in the frame.
If you tapped Load live preview on the homepage, or opened the draft preview while writing a brief, the frame should show the site, not a blocked or broken page.
The preview frame shows the site
A template error was taking the preview down, so the frame refused to connect. The template compiles again, and the same-origin demo and draft previews paint the site you asked for.
The Support link in the chat now opens our help, not a missing page on your domain. You can hide or move the button on phones, and the product page lets you try the assistant before you pick a plan.
If WaveAI is already on your site, the chat should still reach a person. If you are looking at the product, the first step is to try it, then choose a plan. Answers still come from your pages and FAQs.
Support goes to the right place
The Support link in the chat used to open a help page on your own website. That page often did not exist. It now opens Tidalux support, unless you set your own help URL in your WaveAI settings.
Phone controls, then a live try
From your WaveAI settings you can hide the launcher on phones or pick a different corner for small screens. The public WaveAI page now leads with trying the live assistant, then picking a plan. A person still takes over when it matters.
Birmingham now closes on a free site check like the other town pages, nearby towns name the Malvern studio, and search titles are short enough to read in a result.
If you land from Birmingham, Worcester or a neighbouring town, the first step is the same: a free check if you already have a site, or Launch if you need one. The title in search is shorter, and it still names the places we actually work.
Birmingham closes like the other towns
The Birmingham page used to end on a contact form. It now offers the same pair as Malvern and Worcester: a free WaveCheck, or start free on Launch.
Nearby towns name the studio
Worcester, Bromsgrove, Droitwich Spa, Ledbury and Redditch now say we work from Malvern. The homepage title in a search result is shorter, so it is easier to read on a phone.
The footer now links to our Worcestershire pages, town names match in the preview and on the page, and bookings stay on the roadmap until they ship.
If you look us up from Malvern, Worcester or nearby, the same places should show in the tab, the headline, a shared link and the notes assistants read. They now do. Bookings stay honest: planned, not pretend-live.
The same towns, everywhere that matters
Droitwich Spa is named the same way in the headline and the structured notes. The public footer now has a Local pages link into Worcestershire. Assistants and search crawlers already had the town list; daily crawl pings now include those pages too.
No pretend bookings product
Malvern, Droitwich and Ledbury pages still talk about appointments and enquiries. They no longer read as if a live bookings product was already on every site. That stays on the roadmap, on WaveSites, when it is ready.
When you share a Tidalux page, the preview now leads with Malvern, and the public notes assistants read list the local town pages.
WhatsApp, LinkedIn and X read the preview card, not the headline on the page. That card now names Malvern first. Google still sees the same towns on the page as in the preview. There is still no home address.
Share previews start with Malvern
The short text that appears when you paste a link now leads with Malvern studio, then the free check and Launch. The picture description says the same, so a feed preview matches a search result.
Local pages are listed for assistants
The public notes that ChatGPT and similar tools read now include Malvern, Worcester, Birmingham, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the surrounding town pages we actually write. We still do not publish a home address.
Local pages now say web design in Malvern, Worcester and Birmingham in the headline and the page title, and the studio pages name Malvern, so a search matches what is on the page.
If you searched for a web designer near you, the page title and the big headline should name the same place you typed. They now do, without stuffing extra product names into the first line.
Town pages match the search
Malvern, Worcester, Birmingham and the other town pages now open with web design in that place, then a short line about who it is for. The title in the tab is short enough to read in a search result.
The studio pages name Malvern
About, Contact, Team and Services now say we are a Malvern studio. There is still no phone number or street address in the footer or on About. Write to us, or run a free WaveCheck.
Public pages now open like the homepage: full width, headline on the left, and a clear next step on the right, before you need to scroll.
About, support, docs, pricing, hosting and the rest of the public site used to mix centred headlines with the wider two-column layout. They now share one first screen, so the useful action is in view as soon as the page loads.
Headline left, next step right
On a laptop the first screen is now the same shape everywhere: the story on the left, and something you can actually do on the right. A free WaveCheck if you already have a site, or WaveSites Launch if you need one.
Less empty space before you start
The opening block fills the screen on a desktop, so you see the offer before you scroll. Phone layouts stay stacked and readable.
The About page now shows Connor and Chloe as they look on the team page, with a free WaveCheck if you have a site and a short note if you would rather talk to a person.
About used to close on a WaveSites button and show initials instead of portraits. It now matches the rest of the site: the people you can write to, a free check if you already have a site, and Launch if you do not.
See who you are writing to
Connor and Chloe appear with the same portraits as the team page. A short note still reaches both of them. The studio phone stays on their profile cards, not in the footer.
A free check, or a site you own
If you already have a website, run a free WaveCheck. If you need one, start WaveSites Launch free. About is still the place to say hello.
Scan Connor or Chloe's card and you land on a page that saves their contact, shows the studio number, and lets you write to the person you just met.
The QR on our cards used to open a long bio first, and Save contact did not always work on an iPhone. The card is now the first thing you see on a phone, and saving it actually saves.
Save contact, email, call, WhatsApp, LinkedIn
Connor and Chloe's pages now lead with a card you can use: email, the studio phone, WhatsApp and LinkedIn, plus a Save contact file that works on a phone. Write to them if you would rather send a note.
The team page matches the people you meet
The team page still introduces both directors, with a calmer close: two of us on purpose, and a short note is enough. The footer still has no phone number. That lives on the profile cards, where a scanned card expects it.
The public footer now links to every Tidalux social profile, with @tidaluxai underneath so you can find the studio by handle as well as by icon.
You should be able to follow the studio from the bottom of any public page. The footer used to show three networks while we actually use six. That gap is closed.
Every public profile, in one row
Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and Threads now sit together under Follow us, with @tidaluxai beside them so you can find us by handle as well as by icon.
A calmer set of footer links
Our work appears once, under Explore. The studio line says we are based around Malvern and work UK-wide. There is still no phone number in the footer: write to hello@tidalux.io, or use the profiles.
The public homepage now keeps one path: a free WaveCheck if you already have a site, or WaveSites Launch if you do not. The same two doors show on pricing and contact.
It used to feel as if the top of the page said one thing and the bottom said another. The free check is the first move when you have a site. Launch is free when you do not. WaveAI waits until you have visitors asking questions.
Home, pricing and contact agree
The last band on the homepage now matches the first: run a free check, or start Launch if you have no site yet. Pricing leads with those two doors. Contact still lets you write to us, and also offers the same two self-serve starts.
How it works, in the order we actually use
Have a site, then check it. Need a site, then start Launch. Add the assistant later. The picture of the engine still shows all three products, with WaveCheck at the top.
The WaveSites demonstration sites now show a team, gallery, social icons and a fuller services list, and the WaveSites page lets you switch the painted cafe between light and dark.
If you are weighing up a WaveSite, the demonstration builds should look like a real small business site, not a half-empty template. They still say plainly that the businesses are invented, that reviews are examples, and that nothing on a booking board is held.
A team, a gallery and social icons
Demonstration sites now include the people who would work there, a fuller picture gallery, and social icons in the follow block. The names are invented, the photos are placeholders, and the social links go to example.com rather than a fake profile.
Light and dark on the WaveSites page
The painted Harbour Cafe preview on the WaveSites page has Light, Dark and Auto controls, so you can see how a site looks in either scheme without leaving the page.
The client portal and the public site make better use of a fold-out phone when it is opened, and stay simple when it is folded.
Opened, you get the side menu and more of the page. Folded, the thumb menus stay. Sign-in uses the extra space without splitting the screen in two.
Opened, a proper side menu
If you open a fold-out phone, the client portal shows the side menu instead of hiding everything behind a button. Folded, the bottom tabs stay under your thumb.
The public site stops covering the page
The extra menu along the bottom of the public site hides when the phone is opened, so you keep the full square screen for the page.
The little confirmation messages at the corner of the screen are easier to read, on the public site and when you are signed in.
Those short notes used to sit on a tinted panel. They now sit on a plain one, with a thin colour strip so you can tell at a glance whether something worked or needs a look.
A calmer confirmation
When we save something or need to tell you about a problem, the note is now on a solid panel. A thin colour strip on the left tells you if it is a success, a warning, or something to fix.
The client portal notification page is easier to read, with proper buttons and timestamps you can actually see.
If you check updates in the portal, the inbox should feel as finished as the rest of your account area. Bigger tap targets, readable times, and a proper Mark all read button.
An inbox that reads properly
Notification times are no longer washed out grey, and Mark read is a proper button instead of tiny text. Unread and All sit in a clear tab strip, like the rest of the portal.
Mark all read when you are caught up
When you have unread items, Mark all read is now the obvious primary action at the top of the page, so you can clear the list in one tap.
The top bar and its dropdowns stay solid, on the public site and in your account.
The menu used to go see-through on a wide screen, so headings sat under the bar. It now stays opaque enough to read, fills in when a dropdown is open, and the panels themselves are solid.
The bar stays in front of the page
On a large screen the top bar used to thin out until the next heading showed through. It now keeps a readable surface at rest, and becomes solid when you scroll or open More or Company.
Dropdowns sit on a proper panel
Product menus, the staff app switcher, search, and account menus no longer borrow the frosted bar. They sit on their own solid panel, including in dark mode.
The WaveAI product page now has the same kind of site preview as WaveSites, and the top bar stays solid over the heading.
The WaveAI page had a broken demo box and a heading that sat under the menu. It now uses the same framed preview as WaveSites, with a proper Ask button, and the menu glass only thickens when page copy would sit behind it.
The same framed preview
Copy the embed tag, try a starter question, or use the floating launcher. The inline demo now sits in a small browser frame, like the WaveSites preview, so you can see how it would look on a site.
A menu that stays readable
The top bar used to let the next heading show through. It now stays light at the top of the page and fills in when you scroll, including in dark mode and when you have asked the system to reduce transparency.
Coming back from a bank card payment only shows a pending screen when we can actually check that payment.
If you paid an invoice and landed back on our thank-you page, that page should only say we are waiting when we have a real payment to wait for. A guess from the address bar is not enough.
No false pending payment
The paid-invoice return page now matches the same check we already use for card checkout. If we cannot confirm the payment, you see a normal not-found page rather than a hopeful waiting message.
Links you paste into WhatsApp, Slack or LinkedIn pick up a proper picture, and phones that have asked to use less data skip the extra chat button.
When someone shares a Tidalux page, the preview should look finished. When a phone has data saver on, or the visitor is inside Instagram, we skip the extra chat script so the page itself stays the point.
A preview that matches the page
Share cards now carry the large image tags that Slack, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, iMessage and X actually read, including on a published WaveSite. Assistants can also fetch a short map of the public site and the JSON feed we already publish.
Less weight when you asked for it
If your browser sends a data-saver signal, or you open us inside Instagram or similar, we leave the floating chat off the marketing pages. The portal chat for signed-in customers is unchanged.
A new WaveSites trial now shares the path that works today, not a subdomain that is not ready yet.
When you go live on a free trial, we now give you the address we can actually serve. Until wildcard certificates are boring, that is tidalux.site/s/your-name, not a guess at a subdomain.
A live link you can open
The trial link, the portal, and the staff view now use the same helper. If your own domain is verified, that still wins.
Your logo on the site
If you uploaded a logo while writing the brief, it now shows in the header instead of sitting unused on our side.
The WaveSites brief now remembers where you got to, the first step is shorter, and your private draft stays on this device while you type.
Starting a site should feel like sitting down with a notebook, not filling a long form twice. If you leave halfway, we keep the draft on this device and offer to pick it up. The first answers now sit beside a sketch of the address you would get, with no extra ticks or repeated hints.
Continue where you left off
Come back tomorrow and the page still opens with the introduction. If a draft is saved on this device, you can continue from the last step or start a new brief. Refreshing in the same tab keeps you in the flow.
A first step that fits a phone
Name, the first thing people come for, and what you do. Trade choices are compact chips, only the selected one shows a tick, and a sketch of your tidalux.site address updates as you type. Nothing is published until you say so.
Contact now matches the product pages, the chat button sits above the phone menu, and About and Team close with the same buttons as the rest of the site.
A few public pages still felt like leftovers next to the homepage: a tall empty contact hero, grey form chrome, a chat button covering the phone menu, and closing bands on About and Team that did not match the rest of Tidalux. They now share the same type, colour and buttons.
Write to us without the empty stretch
The contact page no longer opens with a huge blank band. The heading, form and routing cards use the same colours and buttons as WaveSites and WaveAI, and the privacy note is a proper link.
Chat above the phone menu
On a phone the WaveAI button used to sit on top of the quick links at the bottom of the screen. It now lifts so you can still tap WaveCheck, WaveSites, Pricing or Menu.
The homepage is easier to read, the WaveAI chat button opens without failing, and the product icons arrive at the size you actually see.
A few small things on the front door were working against you: pale section labels, a chat button that never quite started, and oversized product tiles. They are sorted, and the Harbour Cafe demo on the homepage is a bit easier to follow.
Read it without squinting
Section labels and prices now sit at a contrast that holds up on a phone in daylight. The little Harbour Cafe walkthrough uses the same rule, so the chips and the address stay readable while they move.
Chat that actually starts
The WaveAI button on the homepage was failing to load, so tapping it did nothing useful. It now opens as it should.
Willow & Bloom and the other WaveSites examples now share a switcher, each template has its own layout, and light or dark is a real setting you publish, not a demo-only trick.
The demonstration sites used to look like the same page in a different colour, and jumping from one example to another dropped you out of the look controls. They now sit on a shared example bar, each industry has its own shape, and the light or dark choice you make in Studio is the one visitors actually see.
An example switcher that stays with you
Open Willow & Bloom or any of the industry examples and you can flick between them without losing light, dark or the look you were trying. Start yours is still one tap away, and nothing pretends a booking has been held.
Light and dark for real sites
In Studio you pick Match device, Light or Dark, and you can let visitors switch for themselves. That choice is stored on the site and published with it, so it is the same machinery a paying owner uses, not a layer painted only on the demo.
The three WaveSites previews you can open from the product pages now look like finished sites: more pages, a booking board, and review cards, still clearly labelled as demos.
Thorn & Ashby, The Kettle & Crumb and Junction Studio were thin compared with what the cards promised. They now have extra pages, a WaveBookings board that publishes times without pretending to hold a slot, and WaveReviews cards that say they are illustrative examples.
Trades, cafe and studio previews
Each demonstration now has opening hours, more of the work on show, extra pages you can actually click, a booking board and four review cards. Times still take you to the enquiry form, and nothing claims a booking has been confirmed.
The same honesty as before
These are still fictional businesses. Reviews are labelled as examples, photographs are placeholders, and the board says plainly that a live WaveSite would hold the slot.
Homepage and product pages now show painted site previews you can see at once, and a Willow & Bloom preview you choose to load.
The old cards looked like wireframes. They now read as a cafe, a salon assistant and a free site check, still clearly labelled as demos. If you want to click around the real demonstration WaveSite, you load it yourself so the page stays quick.
Painted previews, honest labels
Harbour Cafe, Willow & Bloom and the WaveCheck score now look like small sites rather than grey bars. Guided demo and Demo stay on the cards, and nothing pretends a booking has been confirmed.
Willow & Bloom when you ask
On the homepage WaveSites row and on the WaveSites start page you can load the demonstration salon in the page, or open it in a new tab. Customer sites cannot be framed. The live assistant on WaveAI is still the button in the corner.
The Willow & Bloom showcase is a real published WaveSite with a look bar at the top, so you can try Studio colours, light and dark, and spacing, then open other real demo sites.
This is the demonstration build at /s/showcase, not a mock page. The new bar uses the same colour schemes and layout densities an owner picks in Studio, plus links to the other published industry demos.
Try the look on the showcase
Open the bar at the top of the showcase to switch colour, light or dark, and classic, compact or wide spacing. Those are real WaveSites controls, previewed on your device. Other trades in the list are other published WaveSites, not pictures.
A small script, still locked down
Published WaveSites can now run one first-party file we ship with the site, which is how the showcase bar and smoother in-page jumps work. Third-party tags and inline scripts stay blocked, and booking still will not pretend to hold a chair.
Menus open cleanly, hosting talks like a customer opening your site, and portal sign-in feels like a studio, not a vault.
This patch finishes the layout work from the last two releases and then the copy: More keeps its width, Sign in no longer crowds a tablet, hosting leads with a free check if the current site feels slow, and the portal asks for the invoice email.
Header menus sit below the bar
More and Company open with a fade rather than a scale that grew through the button, and Sign in waits until there is room so the label is not cut off. If a site feels slow, that need now sits in More beside Need a website.
Hosting copy stays visitor-first
The hero shows a customer opening your site on UK servers. Stack names stay in the Stack section. A slow current site can start with a free WaveCheck.
Portal sign-in on a phone
The compact portal header is announced to screen readers, Remember this device has a short explanation, and the PIN step says you are almost in.
Portal login screens now carry a richer brand panel, show or hide password, and clearer trust cues for invoices, PIN security and UK support.
The client portal sign-in flow keeps the same calm split layout, but the branded side now feels more intentional on desktop and mobile, with subtle tide motion that respects reduced motion.
Richer portal sign-in
The client portal login, PIN, password reset and invite screens now share a softer brand panel with invoice, PIN and support cues, plus a compact mobile header so the page does not feel empty on a phone.
Password show and hide
You can now reveal your password while typing on portal sign-in and password setup screens, which helps on mobile keyboards without changing how sign-in works.
The hosting page hero stack demo animates on first paint again, the Built for speed section leads with visitor experience, and the header More menu opens cleanly below the trigger.
The UK stack preview in the hosting hero was invisible for most visitors because its animation waited for a scroll-reveal class that the hero deliberately does not use. Speed section copy now talks about quick first paint and UK hosting before stack detail. The More dropdown also regained its full panel width and readable descriptions.
Hosting hero stack animation
The UK stack preview layers and metric bars now animate as soon as the page loads, without waiting for scroll reveal, so the hero card is not an empty box on first paint.
Built for speed copy
The hosting flagship section now leads with pages that feel instant and UK hosting, with stack names moved to the dedicated stack section further down the page.
More menu layout
The header More dropdown now opens below the trigger with a full-width panel, readable roadmap descriptions and a tidy single-column list for planned WaveSites add-ons.
The global footer now has a tidal shimmer, a breathing newsletter glow and a moon whisper in Tide mode; sections carry chapter marks and proof stats pick up ocean gradient type.
The marketing layout guide is now reflected in the live site, with a restrained tide-themed layer on top: the footer reads as one cohesive block, mobile nav columns collapse until you open them, and homepage cards use the shared CTA pattern.
Global footer polish
Trust pills, the newsletter card, link columns and the legal bar share Inter body copy and Space Grotesk headings, with a soft animated aura behind the newsletter and a tide-line shimmer at the top of the footer.
Section chapter marks
Marketing sections now open with a short accent bar and a fading underline on the heading, so content bands feel authored rather than templated.
Homepage card CTAs and proof stats
How it works cards use the shared ghost button style, and proof figures use the ocean gradient sparingly so key numbers stand out from body copy.
Consistent inline and card links
Prose links, card footers and hosting back links now share marketing-prose-link and tdx-card-action-link classes in the public bundle, with focus rings and hover states everywhere they were missing.
Docs callouts, ghost buttons and confirm dialogs now pick up the same marketing stylesheet as the rest of the public site, with clearer sidebar hovers on docs and articles.
Several marketing pages still relied on classes that only lived in inline critical CSS or staff stylesheets. This pass adds those rules to the public marketing bundle so outline buttons, docs tips and warnings, and basket confirm actions stay consistent across pricing, docs, articles and checkout.
Docs callouts and sidebar hovers
Note, tip and warning callouts on documentation pages now carry tone-specific borders and accent edges, and docs and articles sidebars share the same hover wash as legal navigation.
Ghost buttons and confirm dialogs
Secondary ghost CTAs and marketing confirm dialog buttons now ship in the main stylesheet with rounded targets and focus rings, matching primary hero buttons on WaveCheck, pricing and contact pages.
The legal hub and policy pages now ship their full stylesheet, styled Read document buttons, Inter body copy, and clearer links to WaveCheck, WaveSites, pricing and articles.
Legal pages had been using markup and classes that only existed in the staff stylesheet, so policy cards looked unfinished and Read document read as plain text. This pass restores the legal design layer on the public marketing bundle, tightens typography, and adds sensible cross-links between policies and product pages.
Legal hub cards and navigation
Policy cards now have proper spacing, outline Read document buttons with arrows, and a polished jump bar between documents. Body copy uses Inter for comfortable reading.
Cross-links across policies and products
Privacy, terms and the legal sidebar now link to WaveCheck, WaveSites, pricing, articles and related policies so you can move between rules and product pages without hunting.
The sticky header keeps its frosted glass on scroll, Sign in reads as a proper button, product chips look finished, and the homepage engine diagram fits more comfortably on screen.
A stylesheet rebuild had left the navigation looking transparent on scroll, Sign in like plain text, and product chips flat. This pass restores header glass, tidies nav spacing, polishes product chips, and compacts the Three products engine section without losing the orbital layout.
Sticky header glass on scroll
The navigation bar keeps its blur and a slightly more opaque surface when you scroll, so hero text no longer bleeds through the menu.
Sign in and nav spacing
Sign in uses the same ghost button treatment as other marketing actions, and link gaps are driven by consistent spacing instead of conflicting utility classes.
Premium product chips on marketing pages
Chips beside product names and trust labels use a softer glass gradient, accent border and shadow so WaveCheck, WaveSites and WaveAI read as finished product badges, not plain tags.
Homepage engine diagram compacted
The Three products engine section uses a shorter stage and proportional core and chips so the diagram fits more comfortably on desktop without feeling cramped.
Marketing pages had lost their proper titles, buttons and the Early Adopter bar. Those styles are back, WaveAI sits named beside its icon again, and WaveSites draft previews open in the brief instead of leaving a blank box.
A stylesheet rebuild had wiped the hand-written marketing styles, so the founding offer looked like plain text, headings lost their colour, and primary buttons lost their filled look. That layer is restored. Product pages now show the product name next to the icon, confirm dialogs sit above the menu, and the WaveSites brief shows your private draft as soon as it exists.
Founding offer, titles and buttons restored
The Early Adopter bar, gradient titles and filled buttons look finished again across pricing, WaveAI, WaveSites and the rest of the public site.
WaveSites draft preview opens in the brief
Once your private draft is saved, the preview loads on the brand step. If it is not ready yet, you see a clear empty state instead of a blank frame.
Public form fields now share one soft, rounded look instead of a plain white box, and the footer headings sit clearly above their links.
The newsletter box and other public forms were using the browser default field, which looked unfinished on a dark page. Those fields now use the same soft clay style as the rest of the site, with a clear focus ring. Footer column titles also have space above their links, and the links themselves are quieter until you hover.
Shared look for public form fields
Contact, search, newsletter, WaveCheck, basket and the other public forms now use the same rounded field, instead of a bare native box.
Footer headings and links tidied
Column titles no longer sit on top of the first link, and footer links have a clear hover colour so they read as navigation.
The header and the page below it now sit a little lower, with proper space under the browser chrome instead of hugging the top of the screen.
The menu bar had no reserved height, so it sat flush against the top of the window and the rest of the page followed it up. That space is now reserved, so the logo, links and the homepage content have room to breathe.
Header no longer hugs the top of the screen
The navigation bar now has a proper height, and the page content starts below it rather than sitting up against the browser chrome.
Six new demo WaveSites are now browsable from the pricing and start pages: a gym, an estate agency, a charity, a wedding venue, a live music night and an accountancy practice, alongside the existing trades, cafe and creative demos.
If you were only picking between a builder, a cafe or a design studio before, there was not much to look at if your business is a gym, a letting agency, a charity or a venue. Six new demo sites fill that gap, each finished properly for its industry with real prices or packages, a proof section, a photo gallery, sample reviews and a working enquiry form, plus one genuinely useful extra: a class timetable for the gym, a valuation assistant for the estate agency, a donate and volunteer link list for the charity, an availability board for the venue, a ticket and line-up link list for the music night, and a fees assistant for the accountancy practice. We also found and fixed a gap where two of our own templates (charity and wedding venues) were missing from a background list that keeps new sites working correctly, before it could ever affect a real customer.
Six new demo WaveSites
Browse a gym and fitness studio, an estate agency, a charity, a wedding and events venue, a live music night and an accountancy practice from the pricing and start pages, each with its own finished look, prices and a matching extra feature.
The full basket page stays calm while it loads, and Articles is named consistently in the menu and footer links.
Small follow-up repairs after the mobile nav and header basket fixes.
Basket page empty state tidied
The full basket page and the floating basket panel no longer leave empty-basket copy visible beside your items while the page loads.
Articles named consistently in navigation
The header, footer and site links now all say Articles and point at /articles, matching the rename from the old blog address.
The mobile quick links bar sits at the bottom on phones, and the header basket stays calm while it loads on desktop.
An urgent repair after the mobile WaveCheck, WaveSites, Pricing and Menu strip jumped to the top-left on wide screens.
Mobile quick links fixed to the bottom
On phones and small tablets, the thumb bar now stays pinned along the bottom edge with safe-area padding, and it hides on desktop where the full header already carries those links.
Header basket empty state tidied
Opening the basket in the header no longer leaves a stray empty-basket panel visible beside the real dropdown while the page loads.
Contact, About and portfolio now open with the offer beside the studio, and those first screens stay visible while the page loads.
A polish pass so the company pages feel like the product pages: copy on the left, the people or the work on the right, and nothing hidden while scripts catch up.
Contact and About stay on screen
Those first screens no longer start invisible. Contact puts who replies beside the note, How we use AI shows its default cost panel before scripts load, and portfolio names the real work next to the headline.
Honest labels for what is planned
About no longer lists bookings, reviews or smart links as live WaveSites features. The contact form marks those same options as planned.
WaveCheck now routes you to the right product after your score, and WaveSites start links back if you already have a site.
A funnel pass so the free check feels useful on its own, then points plainly at WaveSites, hosting, WaveAI or a human.
WaveCheck suggests your next step
After your score, the page now highlights one honest route that fits the result, with a single primary button and a link to compare every option. Metadata and findability issues point at WaveSites; speed and SSL point at hosting; strong sites point at WaveAI.
WaveSites and WaveCheck cross-link
If you are starting a WaveSites brief but already own a site, you can jump to free WaveCheck first. If you need a site instead of a scan, WaveCheck sends you straight to Launch without inventing a score.
Search snippets for WaveCheck
WaveCheck now carries breadcrumb and free-tool structured data alongside the FAQ block, so search engines understand what the check is and that it costs nothing.
The WaveAI product page shows the embed tag clearly, and the chat bubble on customer sites is easier to use and kinder to slow connections.
A pass on how WaveAI sells and how the script renders once pasted on a real site.
WaveAI page leads with the embed path
The WaveAI page now calls out the script tag in the hero, lists breadcrumb data for search engines, and shows both the app-hosted tag and the cookieless CDN option with one-click copy.
The chat bubble respects motion and accessibility
The embeddable assistant no longer nests buttons inside buttons, skips vibration when you prefer reduced motion, and falls back cleanly if the brand icon cannot load on a third-party site.
Pricing now shows a template gallery and live demo links, and the showcase sites look more finished.
A WaveSites sweep focused on what helps you decide: see the layouts, open a live demo, then start free.
Template gallery on pricing
The WaveSites section on /pricing now shows nine industry layouts as stylized previews. Four link straight to live demo sites when they are seeded; the rest start the free Launch brief.
Showcase and beta previews polished
The live demo strip on pricing and WaveSites start now pairs the full showcase with a clear Start free button, accent-tinted beta preview cards, and richer demo content including wider gallery grids on the preview sites themselves.
Articles stay readable straight away, and search, pricing, your basket and hosting pages now share the same first-screen layout as the rest of the site.
A follow-up layout pass for the articles reader and the marketing pages we had not yet brought in line.
Articles stay readable straight away
Opening an article no longer waits on extra scripts before you can read. The contents list, reading tools and FAQs still appear when your browser is ready, but the piece itself is on screen immediately.
Search, pricing and hosting pages feel consistent
Search, pricing, your basket, bolt-ons, hosting and the site speed tool now open with the same calm hero and spacing as the homepage and product pages, so nothing feels like a leftover template.
The homepage, product pages and company pages now open with copy beside the thing itself, and the menu calls our articles section Articles.
A layout pass so the first screen on the main marketing pages shows what you get without waiting, and the about, team and legal pages feel consistent.
Product pages show the offer beside the demo
The homepage, WaveSites start, WaveAI and WaveCheck now lead with copy on the left and the product or check on the right. WaveCheck still shows the form straight away, but the value is clear before you type an address.
Company pages feel consistent
About, team, Connor, Chloe, portfolio and the legal hub share the same hero rhythm and tighter sections, so they read as one studio rather than six separate templates.
Articles in the menu
The header and footer now say Articles instead of Wavelengths or Blog, and link straight to the articles section.
Wavelengths articles stay readable, and the reading tools load with the page.
A live fix so opening a piece no longer left the page half-working.
Articles stay readable
Opening a Wavelengths article no longer left the reading tools broken. The piece itself stays on screen even if scripts are slow, and progress, type size and quiet reading now start with the page.
Marketing first screens stay visible, and the homepage and hosting put the product beside the offer.
A proper pass so the public site never looks empty while scripts catch up, and the first viewport on the main pages matches WaveSites: copy on the left, the thing itself on the right.
First screens stay on
Headlines, pricing, hosting and the rest no longer start hidden. If JavaScript is slow, you still see the page.
Home and hosting sit side by side
On a wide screen the homepage statement and the hosting stack sit next to the offer, the same way WaveSites already does. WaveCheck now carries its glass icon above the two doors.
WaveAI and WaveSites first screens stay visible, with sharp product icons and the demo beside the offer.
A quick fix so product pages do not look empty while scripts catch up.
WaveAI and WaveSites load cleanly
Hero content no longer starts hidden, product icons use the full glass tiles, WaveSites shows the draft preview beside the headline, and the rest of WaveAI stays visible if you land further down the page.
WaveAI and WaveSites lead with the real product icons and a shorter path to try or buy.
Less scrolling, clearer offer, and the glass product marks from our brand set.
WaveAI and WaveSites show the real icons
Both product pages now open with the proper glass app icons, a sharper first screen, and pricing or the brief closer to the top so you can try or buy without wading through endless sections.
Social links you add in Studio now show on published WaveSites. Chloe's page icons match Connor's, and a few marketing pages are a little less repetitive.
If you added Instagram, Facebook or another social link in Studio, it was being saved but never shown. Every WaveSites template now has a Find us elsewhere section when you have links, and nothing when you do not. Trades and a few other service lists can also show a price next to each item. On the public site, Chloe's profile icons now use the same set as Connor's, and a duplicate box on the WaveSites start page has been folded into the existing included list.
Social links appear on your WaveSite
Add a link in Studio and it shows in Find us elsewhere, with a menu link too. Empty means hidden.
Small public polish
Profile icons stay consistent across the team pages, legal footers use the shared shadow token, and WaveSites start no longer repeats the same facts twice.
Articles now have a Reader mode, a text size control, images and video where they help, and a quiet set of stats about whoever wrote the piece. Everything is optional, and an article with no pictures at all still reads exactly as well.
An article is only worth writing if it is worth reading, so this release is almost entirely about the reading. There is a Reader mode that strips the page back to warm paper and the words, a text size control for anyone who would rather not squint, and both remember what you chose the next time you open an article on the same browser. Writers can now add images and embed a video where it genuinely helps, and can sign off a piece with their own signature. None of it is required: a plain article with no pictures, no video and no signature is still a first-class article and looks it. Dates now read in UK time rather than the server clock, and the reading time estimate is deliberately generous, so "a four minute read" should not turn into seven.
Reader mode and text size
A quiet toggle at the top of an article switches to Reader mode: warm paper, wider margins, and the page furniture out of the way. Alongside it, A plus and A minus change the text size. Your choice is remembered on your own browser and never leaves it.
Pictures and video, only where they help
Writers can add images, mark one as a highlight, and embed a YouTube or Vimeo video. An article with none of these still looks right, which was the point.
A little about the writer
Next to the byline there is a small control that slides out a few honest numbers about whoever wrote the piece: how many articles they have written, how widely they have been read, and where else you can find them. Articles can also carry more than one name now, so a co-author or a contributor gets proper credit.
Signing off
A writer can choose to end a piece with their own signature. It is off by default and set per article.
Browsing and reading time
The articles list can be shown as a list or as two or three columns, and remembers your preference. Reading times are now worked out generously rather than optimistically, and all dates read in UK time.
WaveCheck has been rebuilt as the place to start. Paste your web address and get an honest read on your site, free and with no account. If you have not got a website yet, there is now a proper route for you too, instead of a form you cannot use.
The free check was always the most useful thing we offer a stranger, but you had to go looking for it. It now leads: it is the main button in the header and the first thing the home page asks you to do. The check itself has been rebuilt around the results rather than the form. You get a plain English verdict, the findings that actually matter, and one clear next step against each one, so it reads like advice rather than a list of complaints. And if you have not got a site yet, the page no longer asks you for an address you do not have. It says so plainly and points you somewhere useful, because we are not going to invent a score for a website that does not exist. Alongside that, our articles section has had a proper rebuild: search, filters, a choice of layouts, a contents list that follows you down the page, and a reading progress bar.
The free check leads everywhere
WaveCheck is now the main action in the header and on the home page. It is free, it needs no card and no account, and you get the result straight away. WaveSites is still one click away, it has simply stopped competing with the free check for your attention.
A route for people without a website
If you have not got a site yet, the check used to be a dead end. Now you can say so, and we show you the free Launch route, real examples of our work, and a way to talk to a person. We will not pretend to scan a site that is not there.
Results you can act on
The results screen is bigger and calmer. There is a plain English verdict rather than just a number, each finding explains what it found and what to do about it, and where we can genuinely help there is a link that takes you to the right place.
A better articles section
Articles now have search, filters by topic and author, and a choice of list or grid layouts that we remember for next time. Longer pieces carry a contents list, a reading progress bar and links you can copy straight to any heading.
Smaller fixes
The header now tells assistive technology which page you are on, the menus use clearer markup for screen readers, and several pieces of text that were slightly too pale to read comfortably have been darkened.
A new Tide setting sits alongside Light, Dark and System. Pick it and the site takes on a gentle tint that follows the time of day where you are: soft amber at dawn, clear light through the day, warm coral at dusk and deep indigo at night.
We are called Tidalux, so it felt right that the site should move a little with the tide of the day. Choose Tide in the appearance switcher and the background takes on a quiet wash of colour that follows your own local time: amber at dawn, open and light through the working day, coral as the sun goes down, indigo at night. It reads from the clock on your device, so it is your dawn and your dusk, not ours. It is deliberately subtle, it never touches text or anything you need to read clearly, and Light, Dark and System all behave exactly as before if you would rather it did not.
A Tide appearance setting
Alongside Light, Dark and System there is now Tide. It tints the page gently according to the time of day where you are, moving from dawn through day and dusk to night. It is subtle by design and leaves all text and controls exactly as they were.
Our team page now shows real photographs of Connor and Chloe instead of initials, so you can see who you would actually be working with.
Tidalux is two people, and we would rather you saw us than a pair of coloured squares with our initials in them. The team page now carries real photographs. They are served at the size they are displayed so the page stays quick, and if our image host ever has a wobble the page quietly falls back to the old initials rather than showing a broken picture.
Real photographs on the team page
The team page showed coloured squares with our initials. It now shows photographs of Connor and Chloe. Small thing, but if you are trusting a two person studio with your website, it is fair to see who we are.
Our public status page uses green, amber and red, so you can tell at a glance what is running normally and what needs attention.
Our status page uses a small coloured dot beside each part of the service: green for running normally, amber for degraded, red for a problem. A packaging fault meant the colours were being stripped out when the page was built, so every dot arrived the same neutral grey. The page was accurate in words the whole time, but the colour cue people actually scan for was missing. The colours are back, and we have added a check so they cannot quietly disappear again.
Status dots are colour coded again
Every indicator on our status page was rendering the same grey rather than green, amber or red. The wording beside each one was always correct, but the colour was missing. Colours now show properly, so the page can be read at a glance.
Your emailed invoice PDF now carries our logo again instead of a blank space, our emails now show our registered office as they should, and a leftover internal note has been taken off the Late Fees Policy page.
A few housekeeping fixes on the things that reach you directly. The short invoice PDF we attach to emails was asking for our logo in a way it could never load, so it arrived with a blank space at the top. Our emails were showing our company number but not our registered office, which a UK company should always include. And our Late Fees Policy page still carried a working note to ourselves that was never meant to be published. All three are sorted.
Your invoice PDF has its logo back
The short invoice PDF attached to our emails was requesting our logo in a way that PDF could not load, so it arrived with a blank space where the logo should be. It now loads correctly, so the invoice you receive looks the way it should.
Our emails now show our registered office
Some of our emails listed our company number but not our registered office address. A UK limited company should give both, so the address is now included in the footer of all of them.
A leftover note removed from the Late Fees Policy
Our Late Fees Policy page still showed a working note we had left for ourselves about a point to check. It was never meant to be published and has been removed. The policy itself is unchanged.
A follow-up to this morning: on invoice pages and the status page, our own typeface was being requested twice and could arrive too late to be used, leaving those pages in a plain substitute font. They now load it once, and in time.
Earlier today we changed how our typeface loads so that text stops shifting around as a page appears. That change made an older, quieter mistake matter: on invoice pages and the status page the typeface was being asked for twice, in two slightly different ways, so neither request arrived early enough to be used and the page settled for a plain substitute instead. Both now ask for it once, the right way, so those pages look like the rest of the site.
The right typeface on invoice and status pages
Invoice pages and the status page were requesting our typeface twice in two slightly different ways, so it could arrive too late to be used and the page fell back to a plain substitute. They now request it once and in good time, so they match the rest of the site.
The small Tidalux icon that shows in your browser tab was being sent at a far larger size than a tab can display. Every page across the site now sends a properly sized one, so pages start loading faster, especially on mobile data.
The little Tidalux icon in your browser tab only ever appears at about the size of a full stop, but the file being sent for it was built at full artwork resolution. On some pages the browser was quietly downloading two copies of it as well. Every page now sends one small, purpose-made version instead. Nothing looks any different, but there is meaningfully less to download before a page appears, which helps most on a phone or a slow connection.
A much lighter browser tab icon on every page
The Tidalux icon shown in your browser tab was being sent at full artwork resolution, and on some pages twice over, even though a tab displays it tiny. Every page now sends one small version made for the job. Pages have less to download before they appear, and the icon looks the same as it always did.
Text and page elements across the site now settle into their final position sooner, instead of visibly nudging into place a moment after the page appears. A couple of small login screens now start you off in the right field, too.
On a first visit, our page text used to briefly show in a plain fallback font before swapping to our own typeface a moment later, which could nudge words and lines out of place as that happened. Pages now commit to one look from the start, so nothing shifts under you while you are reading. We also tidied up a small pulsing indicator on the homepage that was working harder than it needed to, and gave a couple of smaller sign-in screens their cursor in the right box from the moment they load.
Less page jump while text and fonts settle in
On a first visit, page text could briefly appear in a plain fallback font and then nudge into place once our own typeface finished loading. Pages now commit to a look from the start, so text and the elements around it stay put while you read.
A couple of smaller sign-in screens now start in the right field
The WaveBook and WaveLink sign-in pages now place your cursor straight into the email field when the page loads, the same as our other sign-in screens already did.
A little visual glitch on our free WaveCheck page has been fixed, where the icon at the top could look cut off and sit too close to the menu bar.
On our free WaveCheck page, the icon above the "Get an honest read on your site" heading could look cut off, sitting too close to the menu bar at the top of the page. That was a missing bit of spacing on our side, now restored, so the page has the breathing room it was always meant to.
Fixed a clipped icon on the free WaveCheck page
The icon above the WaveCheck heading could look cut off where it met the menu bar, caused by some spacing that had gone missing from the page. It is restored now, so the page sits comfortably below the menu bar as intended.
The chat button that opens WaveAI on our public pages could quietly swap to a plain generic icon instead of our own mark, most often just after you opened a conversation. It now always shows the real WaveAI icon. We have also added a small splash of colour to your client area so it feels a little more like yours.
The little round chat button in the corner of our public pages is how visitors start a conversation with WaveAI. It was meant to show our own WaveAI mark at all times, but on some visits, especially right after opening the chat, it would fall back to a plain generic icon instead. It now shows the real WaveAI mark everywhere, every time. Separately, when you sign in to your client area you will now see a small splash of colour next to your name instead of a plain grey circle, a small touch that makes the space feel a little more personal.
The WaveAI chat button shows its real icon, every time
The chat button that opens WaveAI could quietly swap to a plain generic icon instead of our own WaveAI mark, most often once a visitor had already opened a conversation. It now always shows the real icon, so the chat button looks right on every page.
A splash of colour in your client area
When you sign in to your client area, you will now see a small splash of colour next to your name instead of a plain grey circle. It is a small touch, but it makes the space feel a little more like yours.
When someone comes back to your WaveSite, or a search engine checks it again, we now answer straight away that nothing has changed instead of sending the whole page a second time. Return visits feel quicker, use less mobile data, and your site copes better when a lot of people arrive at once.
A speed improvement for every published WaveSite. Browsers, search engines and link previews all check back periodically to see whether a page has changed since they last looked. Until now we sent them the entire page again every time, even when not a word of it had moved. We now recognise that question and answer it directly, so a return visitor sees your site almost instantly, phones on a patchy signal download far less, and your site has more room to spare on the day a post takes off. Nothing changes for a first time visitor, and the moment you publish an edit in Studio everyone gets the new version straight away.
Repeat visits and search engine checks are answered instantly
Your WaveSite used to send its full page again every time a returning visitor, search engine or link preview checked back, even when nothing had changed since their last look. We now recognise that check and answer it immediately instead, so return visits load faster, visitors on mobile data download less, and there is more capacity spare when your site gets busy. Publishing an edit in Studio still reaches everyone right away.
WaveSites now offers three new website styles built for charities, nurseries and childminders, and venues taking wedding and private hire bookings. Every style, new and existing, also picked up small touches of life, including a gentle pulse beside a "now accepting enquiries" style line.
A double release for anyone building a website with WaveSites. Three new styles join the collection: one for charities and community groups, one for nurseries and childminders, and one for venues taking wedding and private hire bookings, each built around what that kind of visitor actually needs to see first rather than a generic layout with your name swapped in. Alongside them, every WaveSites style, new and already published, picked up a few small but genuine touches of motion, including a soft pulse on the dot beside a "right now" line such as "now accepting enquiries", so a good news moment on your site feels alive rather than sitting still. Everything respects a visitor's reduced motion setting, and none of it needs a script to run, so it works exactly the same in an exported, fully offline copy of your site too.
Three new website styles: charity, nursery and venue hire
If you run a charity, a nursery or childminder setting, or a venue that takes wedding and private hire bookings, WaveSites now has a style built around what your visitors need first. The charity style leads with your programmes and two clear ways to help, donating and volunteering. The nursery and childminder style leads with your rooms, your opening hours and a plain English walk through a typical day. The venue style leads with your packages and pricing and what each one includes.
A gentle pulse on your site's "right now" moments
Every WaveSites style, new and existing, can now show a small pulsing dot beside a short line like "now accepting new enquiries" or "open today", the same quiet cue you would expect from a site that feels looked after. It is a single subtle pulse, never a distraction, and it turns off automatically if a visitor has reduced motion switched on.
If a WaveSite had not been given its own share image yet, sharing its link on WhatsApp, Slack or social media showed a broken preview instead of a picture. It now shows a proper Tidalux image until you add your own.
A fix for anyone sharing a WaveSite link before choosing a share image in Studio. Pasting the link into WhatsApp, Slack, iMessage or a social post was meant to show a preview picture alongside the title and description, but sites without a custom image set showed no image at all, or a broken one. Every WaveSite now shows a proper Tidalux image in that preview until you upload your own in Studio.
Link previews no longer show a broken image
Sharing a WaveSite link before setting a share image in Studio could produce a preview card with no picture, or a broken one, on WhatsApp, Slack, iMessage and social platforms. Every WaveSite now falls back to a proper Tidalux image for that preview until you add your own, so your link always looks finished when someone shares it.
The WaveSites look-and-feel preview stays inside your screen. The title and close button stay put, and only the middle of the preview scrolls.
A fix to the guided preview that lets you try the WaveSites builder before starting a brief. Turning on extra sections like opening hours, a menu tease or a gallery strip made the preview taller, and on a shorter window that growth could push the preview's own title and close button out of reach behind our site header. The preview now always fits your screen, only the middle scrolls, and the close button, Escape key and click outside all reliably get you back out, whatever size window or device you are on.
The guided preview always fits your screen now
Ticking on every optional section at once used to make the preview grow past the edges of a shorter window, hiding its own title and close button behind the page header with no way to reach them. The preview is now capped to your screen height, only the middle content scrolls, and the header and close button stay visible and clickable at any window size, from a small phone to a short desktop window.
The floating WaveAI chat icon was too small to feel like a proper button. It is now a confident size and never blurry. The "talk to a human" form also had a cramped black button jammed against the field above it. Both are fixed.
Two small but visible polish fixes to the WaveAI chat widget that appears in the corner of our site. The chat icon now sits at a proper, confident size instead of looking smaller than our own footer text, and stays crisp on retina screens. If the icon image ever fails to load, you now get a graceful stand in mark rather than an invisible button. Separately, the form that appears after choosing to talk to a human has proper breathing room, an on brand teal button instead of an odd black one, and more space around it inside the chat panel.
The WaveAI launcher icon is bigger and stays sharp
The floating WaveAI icon in the corner of the site was rendering smaller than it should, close to our accessibility minimum for a tappable button. It now sits at a proper, confident size in line with how other chat launchers look, and we fixed a fallback bug that could silently hide the icon altogether if the image ever failed to load. It now shows a simple stand in mark instead.
The "talk to a human" form has room to breathe
After choosing to talk to a human, the form that appeared was squashed against the box above it, and its button was black, which clashed with the rest of the chat. The button is now our usual teal, the spacing around the form is more generous, and the whole chat panel has a little more room on desktop.
The mobile navigation menu now hands focus back to the button that opened it when you close it, fixing a screen reader snag, and we tidied up some confusing repeated links inside the menu.
A small but important fix for anyone using a keyboard or screen reader on our site, plus a tidy of the mobile menu itself. Closing the menu now correctly returns your focus to where you were, and a couple of repeated or confusingly named links have been cleaned up.
Closing the mobile menu no longer strands your focus
Closing the menu with a keyboard or screen reader could leave your focus trapped on a control that had just been hidden from view. The menu now moves your focus back to the button you opened it with before it closes, which is both the correct behaviour and the fix.
One name for our free site check
Our free website check appeared under two different names in the same menu. It is now called WaveCheck everywhere, so it is clear it is the same tool.
Removed a duplicated link and a vague label
Support and Docs were listed twice in the mobile menu. We removed the repeat, and renamed a vaguely titled group to "By need" to match the rest of the site.
The client portal sign in page was quietly downloading its own fonts twice. That is fixed, so the page settles faster.
A behind the scenes speed fix for the client portal sign in and account pages. They were telling the browser to fetch two font files early, then fetching slightly different versions of the same files a moment later, so visitors paid for both. Now there is only one fetch of each.
The portal sign in page no longer double downloads its fonts
A mismatch meant the browser fetched each heading font twice on every portal sign in, PIN and password page. It now fetches each one once, which means less data used and a faster settled page, especially on a slower connection.
WaveLink customers who forget their password can now reset it themselves from the sign in page, with a secure emailed link, no need to wait for us.
A new self-serve tool for WaveLink. If you forget your WaveLink password, a "Forgot your password?" link on the sign in page now sends you a secure, time-limited reset link by email, so you can get back into your QR codes and bio page without waiting on us.
Forgot your password, for WaveLink
The WaveLink sign in page now has a "Forgot your password?" link. Enter your email and we will send a secure link to choose a new password. The link expires after fifteen minutes and can only be used once, for your security.
Our "How we use AI" page has a copy refresh, describing our AI usage tiers and safeguards in plainer terms, plus a tidy-up of the naming on our engineering stack page.
A copy refresh. The "How we use AI" page and our engineering stack page now describe our AI usage tiers and safeguards in plainer, calmer language, with the same commitments underneath: spend caps, human oversight, graceful fallback to rules, and a UK team you can reach.
"How we use AI" page, refreshed
We tidied up the wording on our AI usage page. The spend caps, human oversight and never-automate commitments are unchanged; we just described them more plainly.
Stack page naming tidied to match
We brought the wording on our engineering stack page in line with the AI page, so the two read consistently.
Search engines now read a clean summary of several product and area pages instead of a garbled fragment, and the WaveAI chat bubble is now guaranteed to start up only once per visit.
A tidying release. A handful of product and area pages were quietly sending search engines a broken fragment of summary information instead of the clean description we intended, which we have corrected everywhere it appeared. We have also made the WaveAI chat bubble more robust so it can only ever start once on a page, however it is loaded.
Cleaner search summaries across product and area pages
Search engines reading several of our product and area pages, including WaveAI, were sometimes shown a garbled fragment instead of the clean summary meant for them. Every page carrying this has been corrected, so search results and rich previews describe the page properly again.
WaveAI chat bubble start-up made more robust
We added a firmer safeguard so the WaveAI chat bubble can only ever start once per page visit, whichever page it appears on, tightening up the moment it first loads.
The WaveAI chat widget now falls back to a local icon if its avatar image cannot load, and the homepage product demos (WaveAI, WaveSites, WaveBook, WaveLink, WaveGuard, WaveAudit) are showing their intended animated previews again rather than every step of the demo stacked on screen at once.
A follow-up visual fix. The WaveAI chat widget avatar could show a broken image icon rather than degrading gracefully, and the homepage product demo previews were missing the styling that steps them through their little animated story, so every message and check mark appeared at once instead of in sequence. Both are fixed.
WaveAI widget avatar has a fallback
The chat bubble and the assistant avatar inside it now fall back to a local icon if the hosted image cannot be reached, instead of showing a broken image icon.
Homepage demo previews animate properly again
The little animated previews on the homepage (WaveAI, WaveSites, WaveBook, WaveLink, WaveGuard and WaveAudit) were missing styling that steps them through their story one beat at a time. They now play through properly instead of showing every step at once.
Our logo, favicon and email logos are back and displaying correctly, every product now has its own icon, shared links show a proper Tidalux preview, and the /stack page shows real technology marks.
A visual tidy-up. Our logo was briefly missing in a few places while we sorted out where it lived; it is showing again now. On top of that, every product has its own icon, shared links preview properly, the /stack page looks the part, and the logo is now protected against ever disappearing again.
Our logo is back
The Tidalux logo, favicon and the logos in our emails had gone missing because the images they pointed at were not in place. That is fixed, and they are showing correctly again.
A proper icon for every product
WaveSites, WaveAI, WaveCheck, WaveLink, WaveBookings, WaveGuard, WaveForms, WaveComply and WaveContent each now have their own icon, rather than sharing a generic mark.
A real preview when you share a link
Sharing a Tidalux link on social media or in chat now shows a proper card with our logo and details, instead of a blank preview.
Real technology marks on /stack
The /stack page now shows the actual logos of the technology we use alongside their names, rather than names on their own.
A logo that never leaves a gap
Pages now keep showing the Tidalux logo even if an image cannot load for any reason, so there is never an empty gap where it should be.
Add to basket works again everywhere, bolt-ons now have their own shop, VAT on discounted invoices adds up correctly, and public invoice pages show your payment history.
A broad round of fixes and one new shop front. Basket and VAT problems are sorted, bolt-ons can now be browsed and bought on their own page, invoice payment confirmations arrive promptly, and public invoice pages now show part-payments. We have also corrected some out-of-date wording and tidied up what is shown publicly on pricing.
Add to basket, actually adding
Add to basket had stopped working across the site: whatever you clicked, the basket stayed at zero. It now adds properly wherever you use it, so you can build up an order as expected.
Bolt-ons now have their own shop
Bolt-ons can now be browsed and bought on their own page, through the same checkout as everything else, rather than needing to be arranged separately.
VAT calculated on the discounted total
Where a discount applied, VAT was being worked out before the discount rather than after it, so a discounted invoice could total slightly wrong. VAT is now calculated on the discounted amount, so the figures on discounted invoices add up correctly.
Faster payment confirmations
Invoice payment confirmations and receipts were sometimes slow to arrive because they were waiting on a background payment notification. They now go out promptly instead of waiting on that step.
Part-payments now show on your invoice
Public invoice pages now show a payment history, so if you have paid part of an invoice, that is visible on the page itself rather than only reflected in the final balance.
Correct PHP version and plan names
The PHP version we quote and the names of our pricing tiers had drifted out of date in a few places across the site. Both now read correctly wherever they appear.
An internal tier, no longer public
An internal-only pricing tier was showing, and could be bought, on the hosting page. It has been removed from public listings; it was never meant to be there.
Groundwork for our logos and icons
Our header logo, favicon and the logos in our emails have been pointing at a content delivery setup that had no files behind it, so they have not been displaying correctly. We have now structured and documented that setup properly. The images themselves still need uploading, so you may see this for a little longer; we will only call it fixed once the logos are actually showing.
The late payment page that invoices linked to now actually exists, and our Legal hub, Privacy, Terms and Cookie pages have all been reviewed for accuracy.
A full pass over every page under /legal: a new Late Payment Policy, a consistent look and last-updated date across all seven documents, and small corrections so the copy matches how the site actually behaves.
A real Late Payment Policy, at last
Invoices and reminder emails have linked to /legal/lfp for a while, and until now that was a dead link. There is a proper page there now, explaining reminder timing, when a late fee may apply and how to get in touch if you need more time. The rate shown always matches your invoice, because it is read from the same setting.
One consistent look across every legal page
Privacy, Terms, Cookies, Acceptable Use, Company, Online Safety Act and the new Late Payment Policy now share the same last-updated date, the same sidebar and the same in-page navigation, instead of a couple of pages quietly running on an older date.
Cookie Policy now lists every cookie we actually set
The basket cookie that keeps your plan choice while you check out was missing from the Cookie Policy. It is listed now, alongside the existing session, consent and referral cookies.
Building a WaveSite is calmer and far more colourful, you can preview your site as you build it, and the demo now shows bookings, links and the assistant actually working.
A wide pass over WaveSites, from the questions we ask you at the start to the finished site we hand over, plus a set of display fixes across our own pages.
Preview your site while you build it
The preview panel never loaded. You can now save your progress and see your real site, in your own colours, at any point in the brief. The same fix restores the site preview inside our own console.
Far more colour, including your own
The palette was six fixed colours. It is now twenty curated shades in four families, plus a colour wheel and a hex box if you already know your brand colour. You can also choose your page background, light or dark, and the whole site adapts around it rather than staying on the same off white.
A calmer brief, and a logo upload that behaves
The questions are grouped into clear steps with one obvious thing to do at a time, and your web address is shown as you type your business name. Uploading a logo now takes a drag and drop, shows you the file straight away, and explains plainly if the file is the wrong type or too large.
Prices you type now stay typed
A price entered against a service or treatment was being discarded when you saved, so priced menus published blank. Prices are kept properly now, as are shortened page names used in your navigation.
Sites that move the way they should
Smooth scrolling is on for every site rather than hidden behind a setting, and links to a section now land on its heading instead of somewhere past it. Sites also read correctly in dark mode, where some cards previously showed dark text on a dark background. Photo galleries no longer stretch or crop your images.
Turn sections on and off, and see the extras working
Hiding a section in the editor now genuinely hides it on your published site. Our showcase demo has grown to show a bookings board, a links page and the WaveAI assistant as working parts of a site, alongside the gallery and reviews, with each one honest about what a live build does differently.
Our own pages, tidied
The home page headline no longer overflows on phones, the diagram of how our products connect has been rebuilt so nothing overlaps at any size, product icons load at the right size instead of large and blurred, and the free check button now looks like a button.
A section of the home page was rendering at the wrong size, and site previews in dark mode were putting dark text on a dark card. Both are fixed.
Two display fixes, one on our own home page and one on the site previews we show you.
The home page problems section reads correctly
The numbered list of common problems on our home page had lost its styling, so the step numbers and small labels came out at full body size instead of as neat pills and quiet captions. It now renders the way it was designed to.
Site previews are readable in dark mode
If your device was set to dark mode, preview cards on a WaveSites page turned dark while the writing on them stayed dark too, which made them very hard to read. Previews now switch text and background together, so they stay legible either way.
Our About, Team, Connor, Chloe, Support and Contact pages now point at real work and promise only what we actually do.
A pass over the pages that tell you who we are and how to reach us. Less adjective, more evidence, and support promises that match reality.
See the work, not just claims about it
About and Team now link straight to our portfolio of real client builds, so you can judge the work yourself. Connor and Chloe each have a page saying plainly what they actually do day to day, with a route through to the work.
An honest reply time
Support and Contact used to say we usually reply within a few hours. The promise we will actually stand behind is one working day, so that is what they say now. On a paid plan you reach Connor or Chloe by name, which is the real difference, rather than a faster queue.
Two clear ways to get in touch
Contact now offers a straightforward choice: send us a message, or if you are already a client, sign in and open a tracked support ticket. Both pages also link the plain-English answers on our legal hub.
Two WaveSites sections that owners could fill in but visitors never saw, gallery and reviews, are now live on every template. Plus a real showcase site and three demo previews you can click straight from pricing.
A product fix and a proper demonstration of what WaveSites can do.
Gallery and reviews now actually appear
Two Studio sections, the photo gallery and customer reviews, could be filled in by an owner but were never painted on the finished site, on any template. Both now render properly wherever they have content, with a tidy image grid and static review cards, and stay hidden when left empty.
A live showcase, not just a promise
Pricing and the WaveSites start page now link to a real, fully built WaveSites showcase, plus three smaller demo previews across trades, cafe and creative businesses. Every one is clearly labelled as a demonstration, not a paying customer.
Starting a WaveSites site now shows two honest choices straight away: a quick self-serve brief, or talking it through with Connor or Chloe directly.
A small but overdue fix to the start of the WaveSites journey.
Two doors, not one vague form
The WaveSites start page used to lead with a single "Start" button that hid the real choice. It now shows two clear options up front: answer a short brief yourself in a few minutes, or talk it through directly with Connor or Chloe. Both are free to start.
Tighter Launch FAQ wording
The portability answer on the WaveSites start page now spells out exactly when a static export costs a one-off fee and when a free yearly copy kicks in, matching the same terms shown on pricing.
WaveSites and WaveSites Power now say plainly that your price does not rise in year two, and the founding rate shows how many places are actually left.
Two small, honest additions to the pricing page.
Year two, same price
Under the monthly price on WaveSites and WaveSites Power, we now spell out that next year costs the same as this year. No surprise renewal jump.
Real founding places left
While the founding rate is open, the paid plan cards show the actual number of founding places remaining, alongside the 30% for 12 months, then 10% for life terms.
WaveSites is now £19 a month and Power is £39, both cheaper than before. There is also a new portfolio page, and we have taken a hard look at every claim on the site.
A bigger release than usual. WaveSites pricing is simpler and cheaper, we have published a portfolio of real work for the first time, and we went through the site removing anything we could not stand behind.
Simpler, cheaper WaveSites pricing
Two paid plans instead of three. WaveSites is £19 a month, or £16 a month paid yearly. WaveSites Power is £39 a month, or £34 yearly, and includes unlimited static exports of your site after your first paid month. Power used to be £80, so this is a real cut, not a reshuffle. What you pay in year two is the same as year one.
Launch is still free, and clearer about what it is
Launch gives you a real address on tidalux.site, one page, up to five sections, SSL, and a hosted enquiry form for up to ten enquiries a month. It carries a small WaveSites credit in the footer. Every paid plan removes that credit and adds your own domain. We would rather tell you the limits up front than let you discover them later.
Taking your site with you
If you are on a paid plan you can buy a one-off static copy of your site for £99 at any time. After three paid months you get one copy a year included, and Power includes unlimited copies after your first paid month. We have built the exit so you should never need it.
A portfolio, at last
There is now a portfolio page showing real websites we have built, with the trade, the year and what we actually did on each one. Where we only did part of a site, it says so. No invented testimonials, no borrowed numbers.
Case studies, honestly
We removed a project from our case studies where the work is disputed, and stripped out quotes that were written in house but presented like client testimonials. If a quote appears on our site in future, a real person said it.
Clearer company and hosting information
Our registered office, company number and registration details now appear consistently across the footer and every legal page. The legal hub has a new plain-English section covering how our hosting works, where your data lives, who you are contracting with, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Domain prices per ending
Domains are now priced by the exact ending rather than a broad band, so what you see is the real price for that name. A few specialist endings are marked as available on request instead of showing a price we cannot guarantee.
Polish on published sites
Optional extras for WaveSites templates: gentle parallax, smooth scrolling, and a back-to-top button with a choice of side. All off by default, all respect a visitor asking their device to reduce motion. Colour scheme, font pairing and layout pickers in the editor are now populated properly.
Adding something to your basket once now adds it once, and the domain box tells you exactly what is wrong instead of shrugging.
Two fixes on the way to checkout. One click on "Add to basket" was sometimes counted twice, and the domain question accepted endings we could never have registered. Both are sorted.
One click, one item
On pages that show both the basket in the header and the basket panel, a single "Add to basket" could add the item twice and show two confirmations. It now adds exactly once, however quickly you click, and the total is right first time.
A domain box that checks its work
Paste a full web address and we tidy it into just the domain. Type an ending that does not exist and we say so straight away, naming the ending, rather than failing later with a vague message.
The right ending for the option you picked
Domain options are priced by ending, so the basket now checks that the ending you typed is one that option covers, and tells you which endings it does cover if it is not.
A homepage that only claims what it can show
The panel in the homepage header used to be styled as a live feed, with timestamps and a rising chart, when it was really an illustration of what our products do. We have relabelled it so it reads as the explanation it always was. We would rather show you less and have all of it be true.
Tidier on a phone
The score ring in the homepage site-check demo now scales with the screen, so the number stays inside the circle on small and folding phones. The chat window also fills the screen properly on mobile instead of leaving a gap at the bottom.
The chat bubble holds still while you scroll, sits clear of the basket, the mobile header is easier to read, and the menu behaves properly on phones and tablets.
A pass over the small-screen experience. Phone browsers hide and show their address bar as you scroll, which was quietly moving things around; everything that floats is now measured against a stable height instead.
A chat bubble that stays put
The WaveAI bubble used to hop by about a centimetre whenever the browser address bar slid away. It now keeps its place while you scroll, on Android and iPhone alike.
The bubble and the basket stop fighting
Where a page offers a basket, the chat bubble lifts clear of it rather than stacking on top, so both stay tappable.
A clearer header on phones
The top bar is more solid on small screens, so dark page content no longer shows through it, and it sits correctly below the phone status bar.
A better mobile menu
The menu now covers the whole screen on phones with no stray footer peeking out, shows a quiet arrow when there is more to scroll instead of a written note, and opens as a neat centred panel on tablets.
The "is this you?" band on the homepage is clearer, the mobile basket sits solidly above the nav, and the first screen behaves better on tall phones.
A short polish pass on the public homepage: the three common traps now read trap then fix with a cleaner hierarchy, the basket sheet no longer looks washed out behind the glass header, and phone-sized viewports stop stretching the hero to a jumpy full-screen height.
A clearer "is this you?" band
Each card now leads with the trap in plain language, then the useful fix, product and price, so the three choices are easier to scan.
A solid mobile basket
Opening the basket on a phone now uses a solid sheet above the menu, so items stay readable instead of sitting under a translucent layer.
Calmer first screen on tall phones
The homepage hero sizes to its content on ordinary phone heights, which keeps the page from feeling oddly tall or jumpy when the browser chrome moves.
The site footer is shorter and easier on phones: four clear groups, legal pages gathered under the Legal hub, and accordion sections on small screens.
The old footer listed almost everything twice. Product, Company, Explore and Legal now carry the links people actually need, with Privacy and Terms kept visible for trust. On a phone you open one group at a time instead of scrolling a long wall of links.
Four short footer groups
Product, Company, Explore and Legal replace the five crowded columns. Solutions, tools, changelog and status stay reachable from the header, Legal hub, release link and status line.
Legal gathered, not repeated
The footer keeps Legal hub, Privacy and Terms. Cookies, Acceptable use, Online Safety Act and company details live on the Legal hub and in the bottom bar where they belong.
Phone-friendly accordion
On smaller screens each footer group collapses behind a heading, so you are not faced with an endless list before the copyright line.
The contact form errors are easier to read, the homepage summary reads cleanly in search results, and the WaveSites page points you onwards instead of looping back.
A few small front-of-house fixes. The required-field markers and error messages on the contact form were too pale to meet accessibility contrast, the homepage search summary was long enough to be cut off in results, and the WaveSites page was listing itself among other products to explore.
Readable contact form errors
The asterisks and error text on the contact form now use a stronger red that meets accessibility contrast, so they are clear to everyone.
A tighter homepage summary in search
The homepage search description is shorter, so it shows in full rather than being cut off, while still naming WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck.
No more self-link on the WaveSites page
The "more products" row at the foot of the WaveSites page no longer includes WaveSites itself.
Contact now names who replies, nav labels use plain nouns, and the footer stops repeating the whole menu.
The highest-intent page on the site should sound like a person. Connor or Chloe answer contact notes, usually within a few hours on weekdays. Menu and footer wording got the same plain pass, and a couple of older changelog notes dropped internal infrastructure language.
Contact that sounds like us
The contact page now says Connor or Chloe will reply, with the same weekday pace we already publish in support. Less form language, same form.
Plainer nav and a lighter footer
Product descriptions use everyday nouns, and the footer no longer repeats Support and Docs that already live under Company.
Homepage FAQ now answers the objections people actually raise: marketplace enough, cost, ownership, and where to start.
The questions come from the outreach research objection themes, not invented FAQ filler. Answers stay short, priced where we can, and honest about when Facebook really is enough.
Straight answers to real hesitations
Ownership, published prices, technical fear and "I only have an idea" are answered plainly.
The proof band now points at things you can open yourself: company facts, ownership, status and release notes.
We dropped a reply-time tile that was not in the proof bank, and swapped a case-studies teaser for a clearer about link while case write-ups stay careful about client permission.
Proof you can click
UK company, ownership, live status and public release notes. No logos without permission, and no pace promises we cannot defend.
The engine band on the homepage keeps the animation and says the point in fewer words.
Three products still share one engine. The heading drops the filler, and the supporting line now names the practical outcome: one login and one bill.
Same engine scene, shorter caption
The orbiting product scene is unchanged. The words around it are shorter, so the animation can do the explaining.
The honest-numbers band now sticks to facts you can check: products, a free check, published prices, and live status.
We removed a reply-time claim and a trial-length claim that were not safe to state as blanket product facts. The release total now comes from the real public changelog, not a decorative bar count.
Numbers you can verify
The homepage numbers band now points at published prices, a free WaveCheck, public status and the real release count. No fog, and no invented pace promises.
The WaveAI chat on your site feels quieter and easier: a compact icon, glass-soft panel, and a launcher you can nudge out of the way on a phone.
WaveAI still answers from your own content. This release is about how it sits on the page: less chrome fighting your site, clearer conversation space, and a small life pulse instead of a glowing bar.
A smaller, icon-only launcher by default
The chat button is a neat round mark by default, with a proper accessible name for screen readers. You can still switch to a labelled pill in the studio if you prefer.
Chat that stays with the latest message
New replies and typing cues scroll into view, suggestion chips stay compact, and feedback controls no longer stretch message bubbles.
Move it if it covers your nav
Visitors can press and drag the launcher to a clearer spot (handy on phone bottom bars). Placement is remembered for their next visit.
The "how it works" steps on the homepage are shorter, so the path is easier to skim.
Three steps stay three steps. Each one is now a short title and a single plain line, without a second overlapping call to action or a trial claim that did not match every product.
A shorter path from start to answers
Start WaveSites, run a free WaveCheck, add WaveAI when you are ready. Same journey, less reading.
The homepage now asks "is this you?" before listing the catalogue, with three short problems instead of six.
If you are new here, it helps to recognise your situation before you read a product list. We moved that band up, and cut it to the three traps that match WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck.
Problems before products
A short "is this you?" band now sits above the product demos, so you can self-identify in a few seconds and then see the matching fix.
The product section on the homepage now says what each thing is in one short line, with the price and a single next step.
WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck still sit in the same place with the same demos. We simply cut the extra bullets and example cards, so you can tell what each product is without reading a brochure first.
Three products, fewer words
Each product on the homepage now has one short description, one price and one button. The live demos stay. The detail lives on the product pages.
Blog pages past the first now show up properly in search, and legal pages tell search engines when they were last reviewed.
Two behind-the-scenes fixes that only search engines notice. The blog listing was telling Google that page two and every category filter were just copies of page one, so they were being left out of search. And the legal pages carry a reviewed date that was not being shared with search engines. Both are corrected.
Blog pages beyond the first are findable again
Each blog page and category now points to itself in search rather than to page one, so older articles and category views can be indexed and found.
Legal pages carry their reviewed date
The privacy, terms and other legal pages now share their last-reviewed date with search engines, a small trust signal that they are kept current.
The top of the homepage now says what we actually do in one line, with less to read before you get to it.
The headline used to lead with a promise rather than a product, and the same three service names appeared twice within a couple of inches. If you had never heard of us, the first thing you read did not tell you what we sell. It does now.
A headline that says what we make
The homepage now opens with websites that are properly yours, rather than a broader claim about growth. Same promise, but you can tell what we do without scrolling.
Less to read before the buttons
We cut a repeated line under the call to action and shortened the opening paragraph, so the buttons and the reassurances sit higher up the page on a phone.
A few marketing card lines now wrap more evenly, so feature grids look calmer side by side.
Small wording tweaks on WaveSites, WaveAI, the homepage and a couple of related pages. The meaning stays the same; the lines just sit more neatly in their cards.
Neater marketing card lines
Where a short benefit line used to wrap alone in a row of cards, we tightened the wording so neighbours stay even. Easier to scan, same promises.
Marketing pages open on the headline, without stray template text at the top.
A broken comment in a shared marketing partial was leaking onto the page. It is closed properly again, so visitors only see the intended content.
No more raw template text on marketing pages
If you saw a fragment of developer comment text at the top of a Tidalux marketing page, that is gone. The pages render cleanly again.
Invoices, receipts and related emails look a little softer and clearer, without changing what they say.
A quiet visual polish on the emails you get from billing: softer card, clearer buttons, same reliable delivery across common mail apps.
Softer invoice and receipt emails
Billing emails now use a calmer white layout with a clear teal button. The wording and the facts stay the same; they are just easier on the eyes.
The blog RSS and Atom feeds load cleanly again on the live host.
Two blog feed addresses were showing an error instead of your posts, because of a small technical fault in how the feed was written. They now work the same reliable way as the rest of the site.
Blog feeds serve reliably
If you subscribe to the Tidalux blog by RSS or Atom, those feeds should load without an error. Search tools and readers get a valid feed again.
WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveLink now have proper product icons on the pages that introduce them.
Fresh app-style marks for the products you meet first: WaveSites, WaveAI, and the smart link / QR feature. WaveCheck keeps its existing check icon for now.
Icons that match the products
You will see the new marks on the homepage engine and product rows, the WaveSites and WaveAI heroes, product cross-links, and the More menu where Smart link lives.
We say we are built by real humans, without leaning on nationality in the line.
A small wording pass on the homepage, WaveSites, WaveCheck and digital solutions pages. The promise stays the same: real people check the work.
Real humans, plain and simple
Where we used to say "real British humans", we now say "real humans". The craft and the checks are unchanged.
July 2026
120 releases
Our sitemap is served cleanly again, so search engines can read the full list of Tidalux pages without hitting an error.
The sitemap feed at /sitemap.xml was returning an error on the live server, which meant search engines could not always pick up every page. This patch rebuilds how the feed is generated so it stays valid on every request.
Sitemap serves reliably
The XML sitemap now renders correctly on the live host, so Google and other search engines get a complete, valid list of our pages every time they check.
The WaveSites guided preview is clearer and more focused, hero buttons settle after a beat, and WaveAI cards sit centred.
Chloe user-tested the live site on Firefox and flagged a few rough edges on the pages idea-stage visitors touch first. This patch smooths motion, tightens the template preview tour, and fixes layout on WaveAI.
WaveSites guided preview
The template tour on /wavesites/start now has a proper progress bar, plain-English step names, back and forward on every step, a blurred backdrop, scroll lock while open, and a close button that stays put.
Calmer hero buttons
Primary call-to-action buttons give a short attention cue when they scroll into view instead of pulsing forever, which keeps scrolling smooth on pricing and the homepage.
WaveAI ecosystem cards centred
The three-card ecosystem rail on WaveAI now uses a three-column grid so cards sit centred instead of pinned to the left.
WaveAI now costs what our billing always charged, and the pricing page only offers what you can actually buy.
A pricing honesty pass. Our website was quoting higher WaveAI prices than our billing system was charging, and one listing on the pricing page could not be bought at all. Both are fixed, and the prices below are the ones you pay.
WaveAI is £19, £39 and £79 a month
Flow is £19, Rise is £39 and Surge is £79 a month. Our website had been quoting more than that, which was our mistake. Nobody was ever charged the higher figure, and nobody on a plan today sees any change to their bill.
Only what you can buy is listed
The Guard and Audit bundle was still listed on the pricing page after those checks moved into the free WaveCheck scan, so adding it to the basket showed an error. It has been removed, and the page and the basket now work from the same list.
Clearer basket lines
Items in your basket now show a proper product name and a readable category instead of an internal label.
Plan allowances are exact
Your WaveAI message allowance now matches the plan you bought exactly. Some plans were being measured against a general figure rather than the allowance on your plan.
The sitemap is being served again, and the footer renders its social links properly.
Two faults that stopped pages working as intended. Both are now fixed and covered by tests.
Sitemap restored
The XML sitemap was returning an error instead of the site index, which meant search engines could not read the full list of pages. It now serves correctly, along with the blog feeds.
Footer social links
The footer could fail to render because its social links were not configured. The X, LinkedIn and Instagram buttons now resolve from one shared source.
WaveSites now starts free on Launch with no upfront build fee on public pages, and local area pages carry genuinely place-specific copy.
We removed the old one-off build story from every customer-facing surface and deepened town and county pages so they read like real places, not swapped templates.
Nothing upfront on WaveSites
Public pricing, homepage and WaveSites start pages now lead with Launch free on a tidalux.site address, then Flow, Rise or Surge monthly when you want your own domain and more pages.
Local pages that earn their town name
Malvern, Worcester, Birmingham, Droitwich, Ledbury, Bromsgrove and Redditch each have distinct copy, plus Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire county hubs that link down to town pages.
The public site loads a leaner stylesheet bundle, with cleaner HTML validation and stronger accessibility on key pages.
First paint on tidalux.io should feel quicker and more trustworthy. This release trims render-blocking CSS on marketing pages and clears real validator and contrast issues without touching the animation layer.
Leaner marketing CSS
Public pages now load a marketing-scoped stylesheet instead of the full app bundle, so headings and hero copy can paint sooner on slow connections.
Accessibility polish
Skip links stay hidden until keyboard focus, mobile menus respect inert when closed, and homepage cards use shorter link names for screen readers.
The full basket page is live at /basket, with clearer close controls and feedback when quantities or email verification change.
Checkout should never feel like a dead end or a hidden panel. This patch wires the basket page properly and tightens mobile feedback on the path to pay.
Full basket page at /basket
Your shortlist now opens as a proper page as well as the header panel, so setup questions, email confirmation and checkout blockers have room on any screen size.
The client portal now shares the same calm design language as billing and invoices, with branded confirmations instead of browser pop-ups.
Paying clients see WaveContent, WaveAdvisor and account settings every week. This pass brings those screens up to the same standard as the refreshed invoice and billing experience.
Portal pages brought up to the new standard
WaveContent, WaveAdvisor and account actions now use the same cards, buttons, form controls and focus rings as the rest of the client portal. Branded confirmation dialogs replace native browser confirm boxes when removing add-ons, domains or two-factor authentication.
WaveCheck PDF reports and report emails now look and read like proper Tidalux documents, with branded headers, clearer section cards, and leaner file sizes.
A free health scan should still feel worth keeping on file. The refreshed PDF layout and report email make scores, findings and next steps easier to scan without bloating the attachment.
Branded WaveCheck PDF layout
Downloaded and emailed WaveCheck reports now carry Tidalux header and footer chrome on every page, a clearer score hero, pass/review/priority counts, and section cards for SEO, accessibility, privacy, crawlability, performance and Online Safety Act signals.
WaveCheck PDF request gate fixed
Email PDF and download on /wavecheck now call the same host you are browsing, reuse your completed scan instead of starting again, and return plain validation errors when name or email is missing rather than a vague browser network failure.
Branded WaveCheck report emails
When you email yourself a WaveCheck PDF, the message now uses the shared Tidalux email shell, shows your score and site URL clearly, and includes a plain-text alternative for every inbox.
WaveSites baskets stay usable before a database update lands, and the public sitemap serves valid XML again for search crawlers.
A small fault behind the scenes should never stop someone starting a basket, and search engines should never hit a broken sitemap when they come looking for our pages.
Safer basket activity tracking
WaveSites baskets and pricing shortlists keep working even when a quiet behind-the-scenes update is still catching up, so starting a site is not blocked by housekeeping.
Sitemap XML fixed for crawlers
The public sitemap at /sitemap.xml now compiles cleanly again, so search engines receive a proper XML document instead of a server error when they fetch it from robots.txt.
After the WaveSites brief, you can go live instantly on free Launch or stay on the studio preview path.
Finishing the brief should offer a real next step, not just a waiting message. Launch publishes from your saved brief; the studio path is still there if you want a human-built preview first.
Go live on Launch from the confirmation screen
The WaveSites start confirmation now offers a Go live on Launch button that publishes your brief straight to a tidalux.site address for free, with your live link, trial end date and a sign-in prompt when it succeeds.
Two clear paths side by side
Instant free Launch and the done-for-you studio preview path now sit as separate choices on the same screen, so you can pick self-serve go-live or wait for the studio build without guessing which option you joined.
AI replies across WaveSites intake, WaveAI, WaveAudit and related surfaces read as ordinary sentences.
When an assistant emphasises a question, you should see natural text, not stray asterisks or hash marks.
Cleaner AI replies everywhere customers read them
WaveSites intake chat, WaveAI widget replies, WaveAudit and WaveCheck narratives, WaveVoice answers, and portal support suggestions now pass through one shared formatter that strips markdown markers or renders safe emphasis, so bold markers never leak through literally.
After the WaveSites brief, the confirmation screen now explains free Launch, the demo template tour and the studio preview path in plain English.
Finishing the brief should not feel like the free options vanished. The done-for-you path is still clear, and the demo preview tour stays available while you wait.
Clearer post-brief confirmation
The WaveSites start page now separates the done-for-you build (pay once you are happy with the studio preview) from free Launch on a tidalux.site address and from the guided template tour, which remains a demo until the studio sends your real preview link.
Useful next steps while you wait
After you submit the brief, you can reopen the template preview tour or run a free WaveCheck without hunting back through the intro page.
The WaveSites start basket loads reliably, and quiet background retries stay out of each other's way.
A quiet basket load or a background retry should never take a public page down.
Basket widget loads reliably on WaveSites start
The basket on /wavesites/start now returns a normal response instead of erroring when it builds a resume link, so you can browse templates and add hosting without the page breaking.
Background retries run cleanly
A background process that retries things like emails after a failed first attempt no longer trips over a small internal mismatch behind the scenes.
Template cards on WaveSites start now open a guided builder preview, not just a badge.
Curious what gets built? Tap any trade template for a five-step show-off tour of colours, words, sections and a demo publish moment.
See how it looks, for real
Every template card on /wavesites/start opens an interactive preview guide: pick a trade look, swap colours, tweak headline and button text, toggle sections, then see a demo go live before you start the real brief.
Cleaner font loading on the public site
tidalux.io now preloads only the Space Grotesk weight used for above-the-fold headings, which removes the browser warning about an unused font preload.
Sign-in and public pages stay quiet when a confirm dialog is on screen.
A quiet confirmation popup should never cause a hidden background error.
Confirm dialog works cleanly on load
Staff sign-in, marketing pages and other layouts that use our branded confirm popup now behave reliably and use safe accessibility labels throughout.
The public site and billing dashboard stay up when a helper hiccups, and invoice PDFs load the correct logo.
A brief technical hiccup should never take tidalux.io offline or break the notification bell and AI tools in billing.
Public pages stay online during cache issues
WaveSites custom-domain lookups now fail safely instead of showing an error, and tidalux.io and billing skip that lookup entirely, so our website and billing keep working even during a brief, quiet system hiccup.
Dashboard polls fail softly
The notification bell and AI spend pill return empty, calm JSON when their backing store is down, rather than breaking the page you are working on.
Invoice PDF logo fixed
Full invoice PDFs now use the same CDN logo path as the rest of the site, so the Tidalux mark appears correctly instead of a missing image.
Public invoice links are easier to read and pay: amount due up front, one card button, calmer paid states, and PDFs that match the brand.
Whether you open a single invoice or Quick Pay, you see what you owe, who it is from, and how to pay without hunting through the page.
Pay pages that lead with the amount
Invoice links now show from, to, reference, and amount due at the top, with line items tucked below. On your phone the pay button stays visible while you scroll.
One tap card pay, copy-friendly bank details
Pay by card is the primary action when available. Bank sort code, account number, and payment reference each copy with a clear tick so nothing gets mistyped.
Calm confirmation pages
After card pay or Direct Debit setup, confirmation pages spell out what happened, what reference to keep, and where to download a PDF. No fuss, no confetti.
PDFs match the live invoice
Downloaded invoice PDFs now carry the Tidalux logo and the same payment reference emphasis as the web page.
Form controls across the site now share one calm design: checkboxes, radios, dropdowns, file pickers and confirmation dialogs match the rest of Tidalux.
A consistency pass so every native control feels like Tidalux in light and dark, on phone and desktop, with keyboard focus that still works for assistive tech.
One style for every control
Checkboxes, radios, selects, file pickers, date fields and text areas now share the same padding, borders, focus rings and dark-mode treatment wherever they appear.
Branded confirmations
Destructive or important actions open a clear Tidalux confirmation dialog instead of a plain browser popup, so you always know what you are about to do.
Our policies now describe exactly what the site does, and the legal hub is easier to read and navigate.
A full pass over privacy, terms, cookies, acceptable use, online safety and company details: every claim checked against the live product, then the pages given a calmer, clearer layout.
Cookies described accurately
The cookie policy now lists the cookies we actually set, explains that your light or dark theme is stored in your browser rather than a cookie, and only mentions the cookie banner when optional analytics is switched on.
Straight talk on online safety
Our Online Safety Act page is clear that the free WaveCheck scan raises the right questions and points to a short readiness check, but is not regulator registration, legal advice or a guarantee of compliance.
Company facts in one honest place
Company number, ICO registration, registered office, trading address and our VAT position now come from a single source, so every legal page agrees. We state plainly that we are not VAT registered rather than leaving you to ask.
A calmer hub to read
The legal hub has a frosted jump bar that tracks where you are on the page, review dates stamped on each document card, and a clearer next step at the end of every policy.
Footer status, navigation and founder cards now match what is live and indexable.
A public-page honesty pass: live system status in the footer, WaveSites feature links instead of retired product URLs, and clearer studio contact details.
Status that tells the truth
The site footer now shows the same overall health as the status page, so an incident is never hidden behind a false all clear. If the check itself cannot run, the footer says to check status rather than claiming everything is fine.
Cleaner nav and profiles
Bookings, reviews and smart-link shortcuts point into WaveSites, the free site speed check is properly searchable again, and the director profiles are tidy public pages linked from the team page.
Honest contact details
Both founder cards now offer the studio line rather than a personal mobile, and no longer publish a phone number in search markup.
Product shortcuts and site schema now land on live pages only, with no search-box promise for a page that stays out of the index.
A follow-up SEO pass removes a double redirect into WaveSites, sends retired product hosts to WaveCheck, and keeps structured data and robots tags honest.
One hop to WaveSites
The builder-domain apex now opens WaveSites start directly, instead of bouncing through an old /wavesites redirect.
Honest schema, live destinations
Retired WaveGuard and WaveAudit hosts go to the free WaveCheck, site search stays noindex without a sitelinks search box, and WaveSites keeps a single Product schema.
On-site SEO now matches a single UK canonical host, with clearer language tags and no redirecting country URLs in the page head.
A Lighthouse-minded pass keeps titles, descriptions and crawlable links tight, and stops advertising a second domain that only redirects.
One host for search
Language tags now point only at tidalux.io, so search engines are not sent to a redirecting Irish alias.
Safer site signals
The sitemap fallback lists live product URLs, and retired product stubs send a clear noindex header as well as the meta tag.
The home page now leads with a free check, shows prices sooner, and drops any wording that overstated what is live.
A trust and clarity pass across the landing page: real figures, plain next steps, and demos labelled as demos.
Free check first
The steps and calls to action now start with a free WaveCheck, then WaveSites, then WaveAI, so you can see where you stand before spending anything.
Prices up front
WaveSites, WaveAI and free WaveCheck pricing now appears in the first screen, and the release figure is read straight from the public changelog.
Demos labelled as demos
Example product previews are no longer labelled as live activity, so what you see is always clear.
Contact is quieter and smarter: clearer choices, a live message counter, and deep-links from pricing that land on the right option.
The form keeps the same plain English reply promise, with less visual noise and fewer ways for a pre-filled enquiry to miss.
Premium contact stage
One centred form, quick product picks, helpful hints as you choose, and a character count so short notes stay easy.
Deep-links that stick
Pricing and case-study links now map onto the live service list, so the form opens ready for the conversation you meant to start.
Privacy, cookies and terms now describe payments, email hosting and optional cookies the way the products actually work.
A deeper honesty pass also softens over-promises about change emails and security wording, and keeps footer cookie controls accurate when analytics is off.
Referral cookies, said honestly
The referral cookie is listed as optional and functional, not essential, and the footer shows Cookie policy instead of Manage cookies when analytics is switched off.
Clearer privacy and payments
Privacy now names Proton Mail and UK hosting separately, and Terms explain Stripe checkout alongside bank transfer and other invoice methods.
Legal pages now match how our products and cookies actually work, with fresher dates and a cleaner hub.
Cookie names, WaveCheck Online Safety Act notes and company details now pull from the live catalogue, so procurement and privacy reviews stay accurate.
Honest cookie inventory
The Cookie Policy now lists the session, portal, CSRF, consent and referral cookies we really set, and explains when the analytics banner appears.
WaveCheck, said plainly
Online Safety Act notes describe WaveCheck as a free scan with optional readiness checks, not a compliance programme or legal advice.
Login, portal and entry screens now respect notches, stop iPhone zoom on fields, and keep PIN codes and tap targets easy to hit.
A mobile-first pass keeps the paper form readable in landscape and with the keyboard open, without shrinking premium spacing on larger screens.
Phone-ready sign-in
Safe-area padding, full-size text fields, larger PIN and authenticator inputs, and roomier text links make staff and client login feel calm on small screens.
Touch targets that stay large
Shared stylesheet rules no longer shrink theme toggles, Back links or portal PIN fields, so phones keep a true 44px hit area and readable six-digit codes.
Invalid login fields keep a red border even before you focus them, in both light and dark mode.
A short polish pass also aligns entry hub inputs with the auth canvas and makes the theme control say Light or Dark.
Clearer invalid fields
Staff and portal sign-in no longer lose the red error border to the default input style, so mistakes stay visible at a glance.
Login screens now keep footnotes, step labels and error focus readable in both light and dark mode.
Shared auth colour tokens tighten contrast, theme toggles update the browser chrome, and invalid fields keep a red focus ring instead of flipping back to teal.
No more faint footnotes
Muted text on the paper and ink panes meets a clearer contrast floor, so small print and step labels stay legible after you switch theme.
Secondary sign-in screens and dark-mode portal buttons now match the new auth canvas.
Invite, password reset, two-factor setup and backup codes share the same quiet layout, with clearer focus on accessibility and consistent teal actions.
Every auth step looks intentional
Forgot password, invite accept and two-factor enrolment drop the old centred icon chrome and follow the same left-aligned form stage as sign-in.
Portal billing bolt-ons stay reliable
The client billing bolt-on shop no longer trips on a missing catalogue variable, so the page loads cleanly while you browse add-ons.
Staff, client and billing entry sign-in screens are quieter, sharper and easier to read.
A full-bleed brand plane, teal continue buttons and left-aligned forms replace the older dual-card layout, without changing password, PIN or authenticator behaviour.
Premium login canvas
Sign-in now opens as one composed screen: dark brand story on one side, a clean form stage on the other, with clearer step progress for staff.
Billing entry matches the same feel
The billing host entry hub uses the same quiet split layout and pill staff/client switcher, so the first door feels as considered as the dedicated login pages.
Pricing anchors, contact prefills and support answers now match WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck.
Dead jumps into /pricing are fixed, subject links fill the contact form, and support no longer describes retired product names as live plans.
Pricing links land where they should
WaveAI and hosting CTAs jump to the live WaveAI and WaveSites pricing blocks, and the FAQ on the page matches what search engines see.
Contact and support speak three products
Subject links pre-fill the form, All three replaces the old Full Wave value, and support answers point to free WaveCheck instead of retired names.
Terms now name WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck, and the contact form stays on a simple conversation.
Legal pages also gain breadcrumbs, a mobile document picker and practical links to pricing, contact and support.
Services list matches what we sell
The Terms services inventory drops WaveMatch and lists WaveSites features and free WaveCheck in plain British English.
Easier legal navigation
Every legal document now has a breadcrumb trail and a calm next-step band, with a mobile picker between policies.
WaveCheck sits in the product family properly, and retired product URLs leave the public sitemap.
Bookings, reviews and smart link stay as WaveSites features. Health and safety checks live under free WaveCheck.
Honest discoverability
Search engines see WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck as the live story, while older product paths stay resolvable but no longer compete in the sitemap.
Mobile menus, share lightbox and a few marketing cards drop live blur for near-opaque fills.
Scroll and overlay work stay lighter on phones without changing the look much.
Less blur on everyday chrome
Marketing drawers, contact and team cards, changelog asides and share lightbox no longer pay for backdrop blur.
WaveLink landing, contact options and the portal safety page now follow WaveSites, WaveAI and free WaveCheck.
Existing WaveLink accounts can still sign in, and the Books mobile menu no longer pushes a matching quiz.
Folded features, honest next steps
Smart link sits inside WaveSites, WaveCheck is included free in the portal, and contact options lead with the three products.
Health and safety scanners now speak as WaveCheck, with clear next steps instead of old product pricing dead ends.
Shareable results, badges and PDF records use the WaveCheck name, and CTAs point to the free check or WaveSites.
Scanners match the free WaveCheck path
Legacy check and verify URLs stay resolvable, but customer chrome no longer sells WaveAudit or WaveGuard as separate products.
Public pages keep their scroll animations even if an optional helper is missing.
Marketing pages keep working even when that piece of behind-the-scenes code is not present yet, so visitors never hit a blank error page.
Page animations do not depend on one helper
Pricing and other key pages now fall back to their own built-in animation styling if an optional helper is missing, so nothing breaks.
Product and supplier lists drop wasted blur, and the WaveSites portal links straight to bookings, reviews and add-ons.
Less GPU work on everyday screens, and fewer clicks between your site and the tools that sit on it.
Shortcuts where you need them
My site now offers Studio, bookings, reviews, WaveAI and billing add-ons in one place, and WaveCheck is labelled clearly in the portal menu.
The WaveSites intake wizard reveals social links only when you want them, and templates respect light and dark themes.
You can choose one-page or multi-page layout, and in-page links scroll under the sticky header without jumping.
Make it yours, without the clutter
Opening hours and social fields stay tucked away until toggled on, and site templates keep native theme tokens for light and dark.
About, team, hosting and tools pages now speak WaveSites, WaveAI and free WaveCheck in plain British English.
Shorter copy, warmer tone, and clearer next steps so every page points somewhere useful.
Stale marketing pages brought forward
Founder profiles, hosting helpers, site speed and share pages now match the three-product path, with cross-links instead of dead ends.
Older product URLs now explain they live inside WaveSites or free WaveCheck, with one clear next step.
Bookings, reviews, smart link, safety and site-health paths stay resolvable, but no longer sell a separate product world.
Short pages for folded features
Each retired URL points to Start with WaveSites or Run WaveCheck, plus the three-product cross-links, so nothing is a dead end.
We retired the old matching quiz links. Start with WaveSites, or talk to us if you are unsure.
Home, contact, solutions and AI pages now point at WaveSites or a quiet contact path instead of a nine-product quiz.
Get matched becomes start here
When you are not sure which tool fits, the next step is Start with WaveSites or Talk to us, not a separate matching product.
The header More menu and mobile product grid now lead with WaveSites, WaveAI and free WaveCheck.
Bookings, reviews and smart link sit under Part of WaveSites. WaveCheck is the free tools headline, not a crowd of equal products.
Nav that matches the three-product story
Folded features keep short labels in More and on mobile, so the main path stays WaveSites, WaveAI, free check and pricing.
The support chat, loading placeholders and blog covers are lighter and steadier to look at.
Chat replies now appear more smoothly, loading placeholders animate more efficiently, and blog cover images reserve their space so the page does not jump around while it loads.
Less jumping about while content appears
The support assistant no longer redraws the page constantly on a tight timer, loading placeholders animate more efficiently, and blog cover images reserve their space in advance so the page does not jump while it loads.
Sticky bars and product page glows are lighter, so scrolling feels smoother.
Soft background glows on product pages now use a lighter technique, and sticky menus use a nearly solid background instead of a heavier blur effect, so scrolling stays light on phones.
Lighter glows and sticky menus
Product page glows, campaign highlights and sticky menus now use soft colour blends instead of a heavier blur effect, which keeps scrolling and everyday browsing calmer, especially on older phones.
Heavier, page-shuddering animations are gone from key screens.
The floating WaveAI suggestions, catalogue cards and the dashboard action board now use a lighter style of animation, so phones stay smoother.
Lighter animation on the worst offenders
The floating WaveAI suggestion chips move in a lighter, more efficient way, and glass-style cards no longer do invisible extra work that cost battery and speed for almost no visual difference.
Portal billing, basket and studios now explain what happens next in plain English.
Empty states are warmer, add-ons make it clear they land on one invoice, and Bookings and Reviews read as WaveSites features.
Reassuring portal microcopy
Dashboard, billing, services, bolt-on basket and WaveSites studio language is clearer, with fewer surprises about invoices and upgrades.
WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck now make ownership and fit obvious before you start.
Each product door keeps one clear call to action, shows who it is for, and keeps the demo close so you can see the product working.
Know what you get, then start
WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck pages now spell out who they suit and what you own, with a single primary next step and the demo still up front.
Pricing now leads with a free WaveCheck, then Launch, then Flow, Rise and Surge.
WaveAI sits beside WaveSites rather than inside it. Rise and Surge make the popular bundle path obvious so you spend less time choosing.
Launch first, then climb when you are ready
The pricing page opens with a free check, puts Launch as the WaveSites front door, and spells out which paid tiers naturally carry WaveAI and bookings.
More useful answers for founders, plus a clear picture of how this small studio works with you.
Product pages and home now carry stronger FAQs. New plain-English guides cover getting online, owning your domain and the free WaveCheck.
Real answers before you buy
WaveSites, WaveAI, WaveCheck and home FAQs are fuller, and a studio trust section explains what you can expect without invented client quotes.
Home, product and studio pages now say more with fewer words.
Idea-stage founders come first, then growing small businesses. The promise stays plain: real British humans, your own domain, no marketplace rent.
Tighter pages with an obvious next step
Home, WaveSites start, WaveAI, WaveCheck, services, solutions, about, contact and local pages now lead with clearer headlines, shorter copy and one clear call to action.
Marketing and portal copy now speak only WaveSites, WaveAI and free WaveCheck.
Bookings, reviews and a smart link sit on your WaveSites site. Site safety and health checks live under WaveCheck. Paid plans are Launch, Flow, Rise and Surge.
Retired product names cleared from public pages
Fold-in pages, meta descriptions, case studies, legal and portal labels no longer sell old standalone products or retired plan names. The story is three products, with features where they belong.
WaveSites start, WaveAI and WaveCheck now show a small looping story of what you get.
Before you fill a form or paste a URL, a calm mini demo shows the product doing its job: brief to preview, answer to lead, or scan to score.
See the product before you start
WaveSites start plays the brief-to-live-preview loop for a full website, WaveAI shows an assistant answering then capturing a lead, and WaveCheck previews a free health score above the scan form.
Homepage WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck demos match the new look and pause when off screen.
The mini product stories still loop, but they now use the three-product colour palette, a lighter style of motion, and a calm final frame when you prefer reduced motion.
Product demos restyled and lighter to run
WaveSites shows brief to live preview, WaveAI answers then captures a lead, and WaveCheck scores a site with soft arc cross-fades. Loops pause when scrolled away, and soft glows no longer rely on a heavier blur effect.
The homepage engine animation keeps its look, runs calmer, and pauses when you scroll past.
Soft glow layers and floating chips still tell the three-product story, without the heavier effects that made older phones and laptops stutter.
Smooth engine motion without the lag
The homepage engine animation now moves in a lighter, more efficient way, uses pre-built soft glows instead of a heavier live effect, and stops entirely on mobile, if you prefer reduced motion, or once you have scrolled past it.
About, contact, local area pages and home strips now match the WaveSites, WaveAI and free WaveCheck story.
Shared marketing pages drop leftover nine-product framing, point buyers through clear doorways, and keep WaveMatch as a gentle helper rather than the front door.
Same three products on the pages that still needed catching up
Home how-it-works and numbers, the product nav and cross-links, contact and about CTAs, and every local area page now lead with WaveSites, WaveAI and a free WaveCheck, with idea-stage, existing-business and just-a-link doorways that start WaveSites in one click.
Clearer keyboard focus, labels and live updates on key marketing pages.
Home, pricing, WaveSites intake, WaveCheck and WaveAI now read more cleanly with screen readers, keyboard navigation and both light and dark themes.
Easier to use with keyboard and screen readers
Marketing pages now expose clearer form labels, scan and wizard progress, FAQ and nav focus rings, and live status messages on WaveCheck and WaveSites so you always know what step you are on.
Home, pricing, WaveSites, WaveCheck and WaveAI now share the same scroll and CTA motion language.
Page entrances, count-up numbers, magnetic buttons and off-screen pauses now match the homepage engine section: light to run, safe for reduced motion, and calm rather than flashy.
Consistent motion on consolidated pages
WaveCheck, WaveAI, WaveSites start and pricing pick up the same reveal, stagger, count-up and magnetic CTA patterns as the homepage, with decorative scenes pausing when they scroll off screen.
Public flows now recover gracefully when something breaks or is missing.
WaveSites, WaveCheck, WaveAI demo, portal basket and marketing error pages now explain what happened and offer a sensible next step instead of leaving you on a blank screen.
Helpful recovery on public flows
WaveSites intake shows a calm restart screen if a reload loses your draft, WaveCheck scan failures offer retry plus contact and WaveSites links, the WaveAI demo explains when the assistant is offline, and branded 404 and 500 pages point you home or to WaveCheck.
Retired product pages now read as WaveSites features or free WaveCheck branches.
Bookings, reviews, link, guard and audit pages no longer compete with their own pricing grids. One clear next step on each: Start with WaveSites or Run WaveCheck.
Clearer fold-in pages
WaveBookings, WaveReviews and WaveLink point to WaveSites. WaveGuard and WaveAudit point to the free WaveCheck scan, with quiet links to pricing when you need monitoring detail.
Clients can shortlist add-ons and see a running monthly total.
In the client portal, browse WaveAI, bookings, reviews and extras, add or remove them, and see what would land on the next single invoice.
Build your next invoice calmly
The portal grow and bolt-on area now keeps a clear basket total, with reassurance that selected add-ons appear on your next invoice rather than charging silently.
The 2026 Early Adopter offer now has a calmer visual treatment.
When the founding rate is live, home and pricing show a soft amber badge with the percent off, and a gentle countdown only if an end date is set.
No fake urgency
The Early Adopter chip stays warm and tasteful, hides cleanly when the offer is off, and never invents seat counters.
WaveCheck is now a live site check with health results first.
Paste a URL, watch the calm progress steps, then read the score. Online Safety Act help only appears when it looks relevant, and WaveSites is the clear next step.
Check your site on WaveCheck
The free WaveCheck page runs the health scan in place, leads with speed, SSL, SEO and trust signals, and points you to Start with WaveSites when the site needs work.
WaveSites intake now chooses full website, landing with QR, or link-in-bio.
Start the brief knowing what you are building, with a calm preview for each mode and the smart-link demo folded into WaveSites.
Website, landing or bio
The WaveSites start page lets you pick Full website, Landing page with QR, or Link-in-bio before the brief, so the preview matches what you need.
Home, pricing, WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck get a visual polish pass.
Spacing, keyboard focus and contrast get tighter so the three-product story feels as calm on a phone as it does on a wide screen.
Public pages feel steadier
Section rhythm, focus rings and product-link contrast are tidied across the main offer pages, with less repeated CTA noise on pricing.
Services and solutions pages now point to WaveSites, WaveAI and WaveCheck.
The by-need pages and services hub match the three-product story, with clear cross-links instead of a long product catalogue.
Solutions and services aligned
Digital and AI solution pages, plus the services hub, now lead with WaveSites, WaveAI and the free WaveCheck.
The homepage and WaveSites start now lead with people bringing ideas to life.
Doorways for starting an idea, running an existing business, or needing just a link and QR, with the human ownership line kept front and centre.
Persona doorways on WaveSites
Choose Starting an idea, Existing business, or Just need a link + QR, then begin a WaveSites brief built with real British humans who check everything.
WaveSites Flow, Rise and Surge, with a free Launch entry and WaveCheck up front.
Pricing now matches the three-product story: free Launch, paid WaveSites plans, WaveAI, and a free WaveCheck, with full specs tucked behind Show full specs.
Less decision fatigue
Retired product price walls are quietened, Rise and Surge describe natural bundles, and the founding offer copy talks about WaveSites and WaveAI rather than a long product list.
Bookings, reviews and smart links now read as WaveSites features.
Those pages stay available, but they lead with Start with WaveSites and explain that the diary, reviews and QR live on the site you own.
Folded into WaveSites
Bookings, reviews and link or QR pages now say they are part of WaveSites, keep their demos, and point you to start a site rather than learn three more products.
Health first, Online Safety Act only when it applies.
WaveCheck is now the free-tool home: one clear site check, with the Online Safety Act questionnaire as a calm branch for sites that let people post.
Check your site free, in one place
The WaveCheck page leads with speed, mobile, SSL, SEO and cookie trust, then offers the safety questionnaire only if user posts or uploads are in play.
Free scan results now point clearly to WaveSites.
After a health or safety check, the next step is a proper site on a domain you own, with monitoring kept as a quieter option.
Start with WaveSites after a scan
WaveCheck-style result screens now lead with Start fresh with WaveSites, so a free scan is a doorway into a real website, not only a monitoring upsell.
Online Safety Act copy without fear framing.
The WaveGuard hero and WaveCheck disclaimer now describe the Act plainly, and only where posting and uploads are in play.
Softer, clearer OSA language
Dropped the Ofcom fines fear pill, and made the free-check disclaimer conditional for sites that let people post, comment or upload.
The homepage founding offer is an honest welcome, with no pretend scarcity.
When the 2026 Early Adopter rate is live, you see a warm percentage and optional end date, not a fake seat counter.
No more fake scarcity
The homepage offer chip now uses the real founding offer: percent off for 12 months, hidden when the offer is closed.
The homepage now leads with WaveSites, WaveAI and a free WaveCheck.
Three things, done properly: your website, an AI assistant, and a free site check. Bookings, reviews and smart links stay available as features of your site.
Homepage tells the same story as the nav
Hero, product rows, problems and FAQs now speak in the three-product vocabulary, with Start with WaveSites and Run a free check as the clear next steps.
Four clear starting points: WaveSites, WaveAI, Free check and Pricing.
The top of the site now leads with the three things we sell, plus pricing. Bookings, reviews and hosting stay available under More, not as nine equal products.
A shorter, clearer menu
Desktop and mobile navigation now show WaveSites, WaveAI, Free check and Pricing first. The primary button is Start with WaveSites. Get matched stays as a quiet "not sure?" link.
Products column trimmed
The footer Products list matches the same three-product story, so the first visit and the site map tell the same tale.
More local pages, live demos, clearer copy and a big accessibility pass.
A wide quality sweep across the whole site. New pages for more of the areas we serve, live demos that show how the products actually work, tighter copy, and a thorough accessibility pass so the site works well for everyone.
More areas we cover
New pages for Droitwich, Ledbury and Bromsgrove join Malvern, Worcester and Birmingham, each written specifically for that town.
See it, not just read it
Live demos on the bookings, reviews, WaveAI and WaveLink pages show exactly how each one works at a glance, with less to read.
Clearer, quicker sign-up
A faster route to start a WaveSites build for people who are ready, and a clean, working finish to the sign-up flow. The free website scanner works again too.
Accessibility
A thorough pass adding proper labels and roles across the site and the client portal, so it works cleanly with screen readers and keyboards.
Honest by default
Tidied wording so every claim is one we can stand behind, and made the legal pages easier to navigate.
New pages for the areas we serve, plus a search box for the whole site.
We added dedicated pages for the areas we work in and a search box so visitors can find what they need faster. Part of a wider push to be easier to find, both locally and in search.
Pages for your area
New pages for web design in Malvern, Worcester and Birmingham, each written specifically for that area, so nearby businesses can see exactly how we help them.
Search the whole site
A new search box on the site helps you jump straight to the page, product or article you are looking for.
Faster, cleaner redirects so visitors and search engines always land in one hop.
We tightened how the site handles secure and www web addresses. Requests now redirect straight to the canonical https address in a single step, which is quicker for visitors and cleaner for search engines.
One-hop secure and www redirects
A request to a www or non-secure address now redirects straight to the canonical https address in a single step, instead of chaining through two redirects. Faster for visitors and better for search ranking signals.
Search engines can now reliably crawl every page on the site.
The sitemap is the file search engines read to find all of our pages. It is now hardened so it is always available and always valid, which keeps the whole site easy to find in search.
A more reliable sitemap for search engines
The sitemap that helps Google and other search engines discover our pages now always returns a complete, valid list, even if part of the site is temporarily unavailable. This protects how well the site shows up in search results.
Public JSON feeds are fetchable again with curl, empty user agents, and AI tools.
Some server-side fetchers were still blocked or given a noindex header that made compliant AI tools return an empty body. Edge routing and header rules now keep the public connectors open and readable.
curl and AI fetchers can read the public feeds again
Requests to the public pricing, products, status, changelog and pulse feeds now pass through even when sent by curl, scripts with no user agent, or AI assistants. The feeds no longer carry a noindex header that hid the JSON from compliant fetchers.
Restored reliable access to the public data feeds after an edge routing slip.
Some requests to the public JSON feeds were being stopped at the web server before the app could answer. Routing and header rules now send those paths straight to Laravel, with clearer deploy checks so we can prove the fix is live.
Public feeds reach the app again
Requests to the public pricing, products, status, changelog and pulse feeds now pass through to the application instead of being blocked at the edge. AI assistants, dashboards and integrations can fetch live data reliably again.
Made the public data feeds reliably readable by AI assistants, for good this time.
A stubborn signal on the public feeds was still telling well-behaved assistants to skip the content. We removed it at every layer and added a way to prove the fix is live.
Assistants can read the feeds cleanly
The public pricing, products, status, changelog and pulse feeds no longer carry the hidden "do not read" signal that made compliant assistants return nothing. They now hand back the full data to any well-behaved reader.
Claude assistants can now read our public data feeds without being turned away.
A small access tweak so trusted AI assistants reach the public feeds cleanly, and a quiet fix that stops an idle browser tab making pointless background requests.
Trusted assistants allowed through
Claude assistant tools are now recognised and allowed to read the public data feeds anywhere on the site, rather than being caught by our general crawler rules.
Calmer background activity
When a signed-in tab is left open after a session ends, it no longer keeps making background status requests. It settles quietly until you sign in again.
AI assistants and other tools can read our public data feeds reliably again.
The read-only public JSON feeds for pricing, products, changelog, status and pulse were refusing some automated readers. They now answer everyone they were built for.
Public feeds open to assistants and tools
The public pricing, products, changelog, status and pulse feeds no longer send signals that told well-behaved automated readers to stay away or return empty results. Assistants, dashboards and integrations can fetch them directly again.
Crawler rules updated for the public feeds
Our robots rules now explicitly welcome readers on the public feed paths while the rest of the app stays private. Cross-origin reads are also allowed on these feeds, so browser-based tools can use them too.
The public system status page loads again.
A behind-the-scenes mismatch had knocked /status offline. It is back, and status.tidalux.io now takes you straight there.
Status page loads again
The live status page and its data feed no longer fail with an error when our records briefly do not match up behind the scenes. status.tidalux.io also redirects straight to the status page.
The Ask WaveAI button sits cleanly, without a stray close chip above it.
A small polish pass on the site chat launcher. The pill stays clean when there is no tip to show.
Ask WaveAI button tidied
Removed an orphaned dismiss control that could sit above the Ask WaveAI pill when the welcome tip was empty or hidden. The launcher now only shows a tip bubble when there is a real message to read.
Clearer install tips on Firefox Android, sharper app icons, and a calmer update path when Tidalux is on your home screen.
Installing Tidalux as an app is a little clearer on more phones, including Firefox on Android. Icons and install artwork are sharper, and product pages stay available offline more reliably.
Firefox Android install tip
On Firefox for Android we now explain how to use the browser menu to Install or Add to Home screen, since that browser does not offer the same one-tap Install button as Chrome.
Sharper icons and product offline pages
Home-screen icons use proper local artwork, and more product pages such as WaveAI, WaveReviews and WaveBookings are ready if you reopen them without a signal.
Upgrade prompts in the portal now point you to the right plan, and Launch WaveSites sites get a clear path to Lift for a custom domain.
When a product suggests a higher tier, your billing page highlights that plan. Launch WaveSites sites also see a plain prompt to move to Lift when you want your own domain.
Suggested plans stay highlighted
Following an upgrade link into billing now marks the suggested plan clearly, so you can request the change without hunting through every card.
Launch WaveSites and custom domains
Launch sites stay on a tidalux.site address. The sites page now explains that Lift unlocks your own domain, with a direct link into plans.
Clients with hosting through us now see a tidy shortcut to their hosting dashboard from the portal.
A small portal addition: clients whose hosting we manage on their behalf now see a clearly labelled shortcut card on their dashboard, pointing to their own hosting sign-in.
A hosting shortcut on the client dashboard
Where we manage a client's hosting, their portal dashboard now shows a plain "Your hosting" card that opens their hosting sign-in in a new tab.
A calmer way to add Tidalux to your home screen, with clear steps on iPhone.
Installing Tidalux as an app is clearer: a tidy bottom bar on supported browsers, and plain Home Screen steps on iPhone. Private share links stay out of the way.
A proper install bar
When your browser can install Tidalux, a calm bottom bar offers Install or Not now. Choosing Not now quietly waits a few weeks before asking again.
Clear Home Screen steps on iPhone
On iPhone Safari we show how to use Share, then Add to Home Screen, instead of a button that cannot work there.
Cleaner page titles on share links, and private share and offline pages kept out of search results.
A small search hygiene pass: share page titles no longer repeat the brand, and share plus offline screens stay out of sitemaps and crawlers.
Share titles without a double brand
Opening a shared album now shows a single, tidy browser title instead of the brand written twice.
Private surfaces stay private
Share links and the offline screen ask search engines not to index them, and robots.txt lists them as disallowed.
Our flagship own-site bundle has a clearer name: The Full Wave, WaveSites plus WaveAI, WaveBookings and WaveReviews.
We renamed the Local Growth Kit to The Full Wave. Same stack, same prices, clearer story: your website, AI assistant, commission-free bookings and reviews on the domain you own.
Meet The Full Wave
Home, pricing, product pages, support and contact now lead with The Full Wave. It is still WaveSites, WaveAI, WaveBookings and WaveReviews together, with no marketplace cut.
Same prices, clearer ask
Bundle pricing and contact options use the new name, so you can ask for The Full Wave without decoding an old kit label.
Tidier support topic cards, aligned assistant actions, and domain prices that match the product catalogue.
The support centre is a little easier to scan, and domain registration on the pricing page now shows the real yearly figures from our product catalogue instead of a blank £0.
Support topics that read as cards
Guide, checklist and quick-answer blocks on support topic pages now have clearer borders and healthier spacing, so each section is easy to tell apart.
Aligned human hand-off
Support centre, Talk to a human and Open ticket sit on one shared baseline in the assistant footer.
Refresh shortcuts for every keyboard
The technical getting-started guide now lists Cmd+Shift+R on Mac and Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows or Linux before you report an issue.
Domain prices from the catalogue
UK domain categories on the pricing page now show the yearly registration price held in the product catalogue, the same number used for billing. Unpriced categories still invite you to talk to us instead of showing £0.
A self-describing public data API, product filtering, and smoother sign-in screens.
Our public data feeds grew up: one address now describes everything available, you can ask for a single product, and standard API tooling understands the whole surface. Sign-in screens also settle instantly the moment you start typing.
One address that explains everything
Fetch /api/public/index.json and you get the full list of public data feeds, what each returns, and how to filter them. A machine-readable contract lives alongside it at /api/public/openapi.json for standard API tools.
Ask for just one product
Pricing and product feeds accept ?product= with forgiving matching, so wavesites, WaveSites and wave-sites all work. Asking for something unknown returns the list of valid options instead of a bare error.
Versioned addresses for the long term
Every public feed also answers under /api/public/v1/, so anything you build against today keeps working if the format ever evolves.
Sign-in screens settle instantly
The welcome animation on staff and client portal sign-in now steps aside the moment you interact, so password managers and quick typers never see fields flicker or slide.
A clearer, calmer client portal for invoices, WaveAI, settings and your site.
The client portal is ready for everyday use: less clutter on invoices, WaveAI only unlocks when you have it, and settings that stay out of the way when you do not need them.
Invoice views that stay readable
Billing history now opens on a Nearby window covering last month through next month, with Recurring and All views when you need the longer picture.
WaveAI shows Locked until you have it
If WaveAI is not on your account, the portal still lists it with a Locked label and a simple plan path under Billing, instead of opening empty tools.
Settings and My site feel clearer
Trading name is optional behind a tick box, Refer and earn sits quietly with account links, and My site explains the difference between WaveSites and WordPress hosting.
A smoother homepage scroll and tidier tables across the site.
We fixed scroll jank around the engine animation on the homepage and tightened table layouts so wide lists scroll inside their cards instead of clipping on small screens.
Smoother homepage scroll
Scrolling past the engine section on the homepage should feel noticeably smoother, with the animation still looking the same when it is on screen.
Tidier data tables
Wide lists in Books and the client portal now scroll horizontally inside their cards on narrow screens, so nothing important gets cut off.
A working status page, warmer product journeys, and quieter public forms.
We spent the night tightening the surfaces people actually use: the status page now loads correctly with clear subscribe feedback, WaveBookings and WaveReviews point more clearly to human help, and public forms quietly ignore bot noise.
Status page that works
Live component health, incident history and the 90-day strip now render properly, with clearer confirmation when you subscribe to updates.
Calmer product paths
WaveBookings, WaveReviews and WaveLink now share the same warm next-step pattern as the rest of the kit, including contact hand-offs and cross-links.
Tidier public forms
Status and unsubscribe forms now match the contact and newsletter honeypot pattern, so real people keep a smooth path and bots do not.
Clearer enquiry paths, calmer promises, and friendlier public forms across the site.
We polished the journeys that turn interest into a conversation: contact options now match The Full Wave, reply-time promises are consistent, and success messages thank you by name. Small accessibility and spam-friction improvements sit underneath.
Contact that understands the kit
WaveSites, WaveAI, WaveBookings, WaveReviews and The Full Wave now appear as clear options, including when you arrive from a product page.
Calmer next steps
Homepage, pricing and product pages point to human help and pricing without confusing forks, with plain English reassurance under the main buttons.
Tidier forms
Newsletter and invite forms quietly ignore bot noise, and unsubscribe is clearer about what stops and what still arrives when you need it.
Production hardening for the public site: safer page markup and a full marketing smoke check.
A final launch pass before marketing goes live: structured data on public pages is encoded more safely, and the full public route set is locked behind production smoke checks so titles, descriptions, canonicals, sitemap and robots stay healthy.
Safer public page markup
Blog posts, docs and product pages now encode structured data so unusual characters in titles cannot break the page for visitors.
Launch smoke checks
The core public pages, sitemap and robots file are covered by an automated smoke suite so we catch breakages before they reach customers.
One consistent branded look for every email we send, light or dark.
Every email from Tidalux, invoices, receipts, reports and account alerts, now shares one polished, responsive design that reads cleanly whether your inbox is set to light or dark mode.
One brand look across every email
Invoices, running-costs reports, enquiry replies and account alerts now share a single, carefully built template, so every email from us looks and feels like Tidalux.
Dark mode support
Emails now render properly in inboxes set to dark mode, with the same teal branding and clear contrast as our light theme.
Plain text alternatives for every email
Every email now includes a clean plain-text version alongside the styled one, for accessibility and for inboxes that prefer it.
Stronger search titles, descriptions and sitemaps across the public site.
We hardened Google-facing meta across tidalux.io: clearer titles and descriptions, richer product and FAQ markup for WaveSites, a fuller sitemap for docs and the blog, and sitelinks that point people to the pages that matter.
Titles that read cleanly in search
Every public page now gets a single clean brand suffix, with keyword-led titles on hosting, legal, team and support pages instead of short padded labels.
Richer WaveSites search markup
The WaveSites page now carries Product, FAQ and breadcrumb information so search engines can show a clearer result for AI-built websites on your own domain.
Docs and blog in the sitemap
Published guides and documentation sections are listed for crawlers, alongside The Full Wave product pages.
Clearer The Full Wave story across the site: own-site website, AI, bookings and reviews, ready for market.
We tightened public search and product copy around The Full Wave so UK small businesses can see the full own-site path: WaveSites, WaveAI, WaveBookings and WaveReviews, without marketplace rent.
The Full Wave front and centre
The homepage, pricing, services and product menu now lead with commission-free growth on the domain you own, not a rented marketplace.
New WaveReviews and WaveBookings pages
Two new public pages explain British review collection and commission-free bookings, with clear pricing and FAQs for search.
Sharper titles and descriptions
Docs, blog, hosting, contact and core product pages now use clearer British SEO titles and descriptions so the right customers can find Tidalux.
A refer and earn programme, plus a founding-member badge.
Every client now has a personal referral link in the portal. Share it, and once someone you referred becomes a client, your reward is reviewed and credited to your WaveAI balance, never cash, and never automatic.
Refer and earn
Your portal now shows a personal referral code and link, how many people you have referred, and the status of each reward as it moves from pending to approved.
Founding-member badge
Early and long-standing clients can be marked as founding members, shown as a small badge in the portal alongside their referral progress.
A friendlier not-found page, richer search results, and a dead link removed.
A round of housekeeping across the public site: pages that no longer exist now show our own not-found page instead of a bare error, several hosting, legal, support and team pages now describe themselves more clearly to search engines, and a stale link on the contact page has been removed.
Friendlier page-not-found screen
Visiting a page that does not exist on tidalux.io now shows our own branded not-found screen with a way back home, rather than a bare error message.
Clearer search result breadcrumbs
Hosting, legal, solutions, support and team pages now carry breadcrumb information that search engines can use to show a clearer trail in results.
WaveGuard now shows your score, findings and next steps in plain English, live.
The free OSA checker and your portal self-assessment now show a live score with plain-English findings and next steps as you answer, not just at the end. Past reports are easier to read too, with a score trend and one-click findings.
Live findings, not just a score
The free WaveGuard checker and the portal self-assessment now show what was found and what to do about it as you go, in plain English, before you download or email the PDF.
A gentler start for your first check
New clients see a short three-step guide before their first WaveGuard check, so it is clear what happens and what you get.
Clearer history and shared results
Past reports in your portal now show a score trend and expandable findings, and the public verification page shows what WaveGuard found alongside the badge.
Live status page, clearer notifications, and a faster search shell.
You can now follow real product health on /status, keep alerts tidy in the portal and WaveEngine, and jump anywhere with ⌘K. Installable app shell polish lands too.
Live system status
Per-product health, active incidents, a 90-day strip, history, a JSON feed, and optional email updates when something opens or clears.
Notification centre and digests
Bell badges in the portal and WaveEngine, per-event preferences for in-app or email, and an optional daily or weekly unread digest.
Command palette across shells
Search your own invoices and tickets in the portal, or clients and ops records in WaveEngine, with the same keyboard-first launcher.
WaveLink studio: themes, analytics and a real link-in-bio builder.
WaveLink now has a flagship builder for Rise and Surge: drag links, pick themes, track clicks, and verify a custom domain when you are ready. The bio feature stays off until we flip the switch.
Link-in-bio studio
Reorder links, edit socials, preview live, schedule drops on Rise, and add custom CSS on Surge. Printed QR codes still retarget without a reprint.
Themes, clicks and custom domains
Eight tidy themes, per-link click tracking with plan-aware analytics, and TXT-based custom domain verification for Rise and Surge.
The WaveAI product page now shows what the assistant can really do.

Docs for WaveAI and WaveSites
Guides cover quick start, customisation, knowledge, usage, the WaveSites wizard, domains, Launch / Lift / Liberty, SEO Studio and export, plus short account notes. Search the hub, browse by section, or ask WaveAI on the site when you want a conversational answer.
Invoice details now read like a clear receipt.
The line items, totals, and notes on every invoice are easier to scan on a phone, and still print cleanly as a single page.
A receipt-style invoice record
Descriptions, quantities, and amounts stack neatly on small screens with no sideways scrolling. Subtotal, discount, VAT, and total sit in a clear ladder, with notes and legal links tidy underneath.
A clearer, calmer invoice pay page on every screen.
Paying an invoice is now easier to scan on phones and foldables, with the amount due and Pay by card button first, then tidy ways to pay, then the invoice detail when you need it.
Payment first, detail when you want it
Open invoices lead with the amount due and a clear Pay by card button. Other payment options sit in equal, compact cards below, and the line items fold away on smaller screens so paying stays one calm scroll.
Pay an invoice in one tap, right from the top.
The invoice page now puts a clear Pay button next to the amount due, so paying takes one tap without scrolling.
A clear Pay button up top
Every open invoice now shows a Pay button right beside the amount due, so you can pay by card straight away. All the other ways to pay, including Wise and bank transfer, are still a tap below.
Faster, friendlier ways to pay an invoice.
Paying an invoice is now quicker, with a secure card checkout and a one-tap Wise option right on the invoice page.
Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay
Every invoice now offers a secure card checkout. Choose card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, pay in a few taps, and your invoice is marked paid straight away.
Pay via Wise
Prefer a bank transfer? Each invoice now shows a direct Wise pay link alongside our account details, so you can send payment to the right account in one tap.
WaveAI stays clear of the mobile menu.
The WaveAI assistant now stays clear of the mobile menu, with simple controls to move or hide it on phones.
Clearer WaveAI on phones
The WaveAI chat button on phones no longer covers the site menu. You can also move or hide the assistant on small screens when you need the space.
A more alive, more premium Tidalux.
A big polish pass across the homepage and product pages, so the site shows what our products actually do.
Live product demos on the homepage
Every Wave product now has a little animated demo that plays as you scroll: WaveAI answering a question from your docs, WaveGuard sweeping for risks, WaveAudit scoring a site, WaveBook taking a booking, WaveLink resolving a QR code, and WaveSites going live. The engine diagram and product cards react to your cursor, and the key numbers count up as they appear.
Marketing pages that sell
The hosting, digital, pricing and about pages gained animated scenes, gentle scroll reveals, count-up stats and warmer motion throughout. Everything is built to stay fast, and every animation respects reduced-motion settings for anyone who prefers less movement.
Cleaner, correct billing emails.
A tidy-up for the emails we send about invoices and your account.
Billing email fixes
Invoice emails now always include the amount due and the issue date (a gap meant some emails showed blanks there). All billing emails also carry our current home, billing.tidalux.io, and the Tidalux Billing name throughout.
A better home screen experience.
A small fix for anyone who keeps Tidalux on their phone home screen.
Home screen navigation fix
If you add tidalux.io to your phone home screen, the navigation bar now sits neatly below the clock and status bar instead of hiding behind them. Nothing changes in a normal browser tab.
June 2026
77 releases
A warmer, more polished sign-in.
Signing in to the client portal now feels a little more welcoming.
Polished sign-in screens
The client portal sign-in now has a softer, more welcoming look: a gentle entrance as the page loads, calm ambient depth behind the panel, and clearer focus highlights as you move through the fields. The same care was applied across every sign-in step. All motion respects reduced-motion settings.
See WaveAI in action on the AI solutions page.
The AI solutions page now shows, rather than just tells.
A live WaveAI demo
The AI solutions page opens with a short animated demo: a visitor asks a question, WaveAI reads your own documents, then answers with the source. The capability and compliance cards now ease in as you scroll and the buttons lean toward your cursor. All motion respects reduced-motion settings.
A more visual case studies portfolio.
The case studies now read like a proper portfolio, with a little more life as you browse.
Case studies portfolio polish
Every story now carries a colour-coded preview header so the work scans at a glance, and the cards glow gently toward your cursor as you explore. Filtering by type stays smooth, and all motion respects reduced-motion settings.
See the WaveSites templates before you start.
The WaveSites brief now shows a gallery of template previews, so you can picture your site before you answer a single question.
Template preview gallery
A new gallery shows a preview for each kind of site we build, from trades and hospitality to salons, gyms, shops, portfolios, events and property. Each preview is styled in its own colours so you can see the look at a glance. Pick the closest fit in the brief and we tailor the layout, words and colours to your brand. The cards gently lift as you explore, with reduced-motion respected.
A warmer, more responsive contact page.
Small touches that make getting in touch feel a little more alive.
Contact page polish
The contact form now gently lifts and warms while you fill it in, the buttons lean toward your cursor, the availability details sit in tidy cards that respond to hover, and the trust points ease in as you arrive. All motion respects reduced-motion settings.
A more polished support centre.
The support page got a proper tidy up, with a nicer assistant and cleaner cards.
A nicer place to ask for help
The support assistant now feels like a real chat: clearer message bubbles that read well in light and dark mode, a softer panel that responds to your cursor, and a brighter send button. The help topic cards have cleaner spacing, and sections gently fade in as you scroll. All motion respects reduced-motion settings.
A faster, always current changelog.
We rebuilt how this page keeps its history so new releases show the moment they ship, and the version shown across the site now comes from a single source of truth.
Always up to date
The changelog now reads from one shared record, so the newest updates appear straight away and the version in the footer always matches what you see here.
A more premium WaveSites intro.
WaveSites hero polish
The WaveSites page opens with a brighter, more premium feel: a gradient highlight on the headline, and the live-site preview now drifts gently as you scroll and glows softly toward your cursor. The Start button leans in to meet you. All motion respects reduced-motion settings.
Case studies read cleanly on every screen.
Case studies layout fix
Tidied the case studies so longer titles, summaries and figures wrap neatly instead of spilling over their cards, especially on smaller screens.
Tidier WaveLink web address.
WaveLink short links stay tidy
The tidalux.link address now shows only WaveLink itself. Anything else typed there (like a pricing or product page) sends you straight to the right page on tidalux.io, so the same page never appears at two addresses. There is also a clear link back to Tidalux from the WaveLink page.
A site that quietly responds to you.
A new layer of gentle, interactive motion that makes the site feel alive without ever getting in the way or slowing it down.
Interactive motion, done tastefully
Key buttons now lean softly toward your cursor, and the closing panel drifts as you move across it. It is subtle by design, loads without slowing the page, and turns itself off entirely if you prefer reduced motion. The base experience is unchanged if your browser blocks the effect.
More polish on the services and team pages.
Services and team polish
The services cards now ease in and respond warmly to hover, and the team page is clearer for screen readers and easier for search engines to place in the site structure. Motion respects reduced-motion settings.
A more polished contact page and tidier details across the site.
Contact page polish

Small touches everywhere
Form fields, footer links and the newsletter sign-up now respond more clearly when you focus or hover them, and the pricing questions are easier for search engines to surface. All of it respects reduced-motion settings.
A warmer About page
The About page now eases in on arrival and is clearer to search engines as the page about who we are.
WaveLink dashboard loads reliably after sign in.
WaveLink portal fix
Fixed an issue where the WaveLink dashboard could fail to load after signing in. Managing your dynamic QR codes and destinations now opens cleanly every time.
Clearer wording on the free safety check.
Plain wording on what the WaveGuard check is
We made the free checks page and WaveGuard wording clearer that the Online Safety Act check is preliminary guidance to help you understand your duties, not legal advice, and that it does not guarantee compliance. For complex or higher risk services we point you to a qualified solicitor.
WaveLink gets three clear tiers, starting free.
Simpler WaveLink pricing built around how you actually grow, with a free way in.
New WaveLink tiers: Flow, Rise and Surge
WaveLink now has three tiers. Flow is free and gives you changeable, scannable QR codes with basic tracking. Rise adds more codes and richer analytics, and Surge adds the most codes and the deepest history. Your own link-in-bio page and custom domains are coming to the paid tiers soon, and your printed codes keep working throughout.
Connect your own domain to your WaveSite.
Your WaveSite can now live on your own web address, with the secure certificate set up for you.
Custom domains for WaveSites
From your portal you can connect your own domain to your WaveSite. We show you the exact records to add at your domain provider, check them with one click, and then set up the secure certificate automatically. Your default tidalux.site address keeps working too, and your domain is always yours.
Clearer answers in search, a friendlier WaveBook page and a warmer WaveMatch.
Small polish that helps the right people find the right product, with their first questions already answered.
Product pages now answer questions in search
WaveAI, WaveGuard and WaveAudit now describe their common questions and answers in a way search engines understand, so those answers can show up directly in results. The WaveBook page gains its own plain-English questions section covering rescheduling, billing, mobile and deposits.
A warmer welcome on WaveMatch
The WaveMatch intro is friendlier and clearer about what it does: five quick questions, an honest ranking of the products that actually fit you, and your full result straight away with no signup.
Short, memorable web addresses for each product.
Every product now has its own tidy web address you can share, and WaveBook has a settled home.
A web address per product
You can now reach each product straight from its own address: waveai.tidalux.io (or ai.tidalux.io), waveguard.tidalux.io, waveaudit.tidalux.io and wavematch.tidalux.io. Each one takes you to the right page, so they are easy to share on a card or in an email. WaveBook now lives at wavebook.tidalux.io, with older links sent there automatically.
Re-download your free-check record any time from its verify link.
Your WaveGuard and WaveAudit results are a record you can keep, and now you can fetch the PDF again whenever you need it.
Download your record from the verify page
Every WaveGuard and WaveAudit result has a shareable verify link. That page now has a "Download the PDF record" button, so you can pull the dated report again later, for your files or to forward on, without re-running the check. The PDF is rebuilt faithfully from the result we stored.
A little glow while WaveAI is thinking.
A small touch of life on the homepage.
WaveAI thinking glow
On the homepage demo, WaveAI now glows gently while it is working out a reply, the way a good assistant feels alive. It fades out for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
Set automatic WaveAI top-ups from your billing page.
A small but handy addition for clients who use WaveAI: opt in to automatic top-ups so your assistant never pauses mid-conversation.
Automatic top-ups, opt-in
Your billing page now has an automatic top-up card. Turn it on, choose when it should kick in and how much to add, and we will raise a top-up invoice for you to pay when your message balance runs low. It is always opt-in and never charged without you.
One friendly home for both free website checks.
A new Free checks page brings the WaveGuard safety check and the WaveAudit health scan together in one place, so you can see what your site needs without spending a penny.
Free website checks, in one place
The new Free checks page at /wavecheck explains both free checks side by side: a WaveGuard Online Safety Act assessment and a WaveAudit health scan for speed, SEO, accessibility and trust. Run either or both, with no card and no catch, and links through to pricing and the rest of the products.
Warmer wording, fresher figures and a glow-up for our personal pages.
A little polish pass: friendlier copy in a few places, up-to-date numbers, and a lovelier landing for the QR codes on our cards.
Connor and Chloe pages refreshed
The personal pages our business-card QR codes point to now open with a soft animated glow and quick links to the homepage, pricing and products, alongside save-contact and book-a-call.
Warmer, clearer wording
Small copy tweaks across the about, contact and team pages so everything reads a little warmer and more human, and the case studies now show current figures.
Each product page now opens with its own signature animation.
Every product page has a calm, gorgeous hero animation that shows, at a glance, what the product actually does.
Signature product animations
WaveAI shows your content flowing into the assistant and a grounded answer coming back, with a human handoff. WaveGuard sweeps a radar over a shield as the Online Safety Act duties tick green and a dated record is filed. WaveAudit sweeps a health gauge to a score while the sub-checks fill in. WaveSites builds a finished site in a browser window and brings it live with a QR code. Each works in light and dark, stays fast, and respects reduced-motion settings.
The premium polish now runs across every product page, each in its own colour.
Buttons, the product family cards and the cross-product links across the WaveAI, WaveGuard, WaveAudit, WaveSites and hosting pages now share the homepage polish, tinted with each product own colour.
Consistent premium across the site
A shared polish layer now applies to every marketing page: calls to action lift with a gentle glow, and the product family and related-product cards gain depth and each product accent colour. The whole site now feels like one piece, and still works in light and dark with reduced-motion respected.
Pricing and product cards now carry each product colour, matching the homepage refresh.
The premium polish from the homepage now extends to the pricing tables and the product pages.
Premium pricing cards
Pricing tiers across the pricing page and the product pages now use each product accent colour for their feature ticks and a gentle lift on hover, so the whole site feels consistent. Still fast, theme-aware and friendly to reduced-motion settings.
A more premium homepage, with richer motion and clearer colour across every section.
The homepage has had a full polish pass. Each product now carries its own colour, cards lift and glow, prices read clearly, and the animation is smoother and more alive from the hero all the way to the finale.
A premium homepage refresh
Every section has been lifted. The product showcase and the problem cards now use each product own accent colour with depth and a gentle hover, prices are easier to scan, the release chart and headline numbers feel more alive, the steps and the closing call to action have richer motion, and the questions open smoothly. It stays fast, reads well in light and dark, and respects reduced-motion settings.
A richer homepage engine animation.
The homepage "one engine" scene is larger and more alive, with smoother motion and more room to breathe.
Homepage engine refresh
The seven-products-one-engine scene now sits on a larger stage with more space around the edges, a softly breathing glow, and pulses of light flowing from each product into the core. It still reads clearly on a phone and respects reduced-motion settings.
A new My site page in your client portal, and a longer WaveSites trial.
Your portal now has a My site page showing your WaveSite at a glance, and WaveSites free trials run for a full week.
My site in your portal
A new My site page shows your WaveSite, its live address and whether it is on trial or fully yours. When we open it, you will be able to own your site outright and download a complete standalone copy to keep, with your domain always yours and no ransom.
Longer WaveSites trial
WaveSites free trials now run for seven days, giving you more time to see your new site live before you decide.
WaveBook and WaveLink links now point to domains we own.
A quick domain correction: WaveBook uses wavebook.app and WaveLink uses tidalux.link across public links, host defaults and product pages.
WaveBook domain corrected
WaveBook links, product cards and host defaults now use wavebook.app, so customers are never sent to a domain we do not own.
WaveLink domain corrected
WaveLink links, QR examples and host defaults now use its correct address, tidalux.link, so every short link points to the domain we own.
Bolt-ons in the client portal, and calmer free-check results you can share.
You can now browse bolt-ons from billing, and WaveGuard and WaveAudit results read better on a phone with share-friendly preview pages.
Bolt-ons in your client portal
Billing now shows what you already stack on your monthly bill and what you can add next: domains, mailboxes, storage, backups and more. Self-serve purchase turns on when we enable it; until then you can browse the catalogue and ask us to add something.
Clearer free-check results
WaveGuard shows a server-backed verdict on the results step (aligned with your PDF), and WaveAudit walks through scan progress with sub-score bars. Share links preview properly in messages, with a gentle nudge if you want ongoing monitoring.
A clearer pricing page and a tidier homepage that match our streamlined product line.
A little polish to follow the slimmer product line: the pricing page now explains websites and bolt-ons more plainly, and the homepage counts our products correctly.
Bolt-ons you can stack on one bill
The pricing page now has a clear bolt-on area: extra domains, mailboxes, storage, backups, safety monitoring and smart tools, each one stacking onto a single monthly bill as you grow. We will turn options on here as they are ready.
WaveSites pricing, explained honestly
A new WaveSites panel sets out how owning your site works: built for you, hosted with your email and domain, and yours to take as a static copy if you ever leave. No lock-in, no ransom.
A homepage that counts correctly
The homepage now reflects our seven products, and the founding-member saving is stated plainly on the pricing page.
Product pages match the slimmer line

A simpler, clearer product line: two products renamed into the Wave family and a tidier menu.
We have streamlined what we offer so it is easier to see at a glance. Two products moved into the Wave family, and we retired a few listings that were not part of the core line.
Odrix is now WaveBook
Our bookings product keeps everything you know, with a name that fits the Wave family. Your diary still fills itself, politely.
Qroo is now WaveLink
Dynamic QR codes you can repoint forever now sit under the WaveLink name, with room to grow short links in future.
A clearer product menu
We tidied the menu and pricing to the products we actively offer: WaveSites, WaveAI, WaveBook, WaveLink, WaveGuard, WaveAudit and Hosting. Bespoke software and design work is still available on request through our contact page.
A new secure way to share files and photo galleries with anyone, protected by an access code.
Sometimes you need to send someone a set of photos or documents without email attachments or a public link. Shares give them a clean, private page to view and download what you sent.
Secure file and photo sharing
Open a share at tidalux.io/share with the access code you were given, or follow a direct link. Photos appear in a tidy gallery you can click through full screen, with a download for everything in one go. The files stay private and are only shown after the code is checked.
An optional passcode for sensitive shares
For anything personal, a share can carry a separate passcode that is sent to you apart from the link, so the link alone is not enough to open it. Wrong attempts are limited and shares can be set to expire on a date you choose.
Legal pages and status now explain trust, policy routes and WaveAI answer quality more clearly.
A public trust polish pass for visitors checking policies, company details and live service health before they contact Tidalux.
Clearer legal hub and policies
The legal hub now shows who each policy is for, what it answers and when it was reviewed, while the policy pages have plain-English summaries before the full legal text.

Result first, contact second
Visitors can see the full match immediately, then choose whether to leave details for a human sanity-check afterwards.
Image and file links now consistently use our current asset host.
A small trust and loading fix for public pages and the WaveAI widget.
One consistent asset host everywhere

A focused polish pass for visitors choosing where to start.
Clearer paths through the product family
The header now puts the full product family and by-need routes in one cleaner Products menu, with Websites easier to spot. Homepage product calls to action show prices up front, app installs get a persistent bottom navigation, product pages cross-link the family more clearly, and public error pages now use the current brand and live version link.
A completely new homepage, richer navigation and products that show themselves working.
The biggest refresh of the public site so far. Less telling, more showing.
A homepage that shows the work
The new homepage demonstrates each product as a living preview: the AI assistant answering, a booking landing, a website assembling, a QR code being repointed, checks ticking through. Scroll-led storytelling, gentle motion, and everything still reads perfectly with motion or scripts switched off.
Find every product from anywhere
The navigation now has a proper Products menu with the full family, including Odrix and Qroo, and the same set appears in the mobile menu and the footer. Product pages also link to their siblings, so the next useful thing is always one tap away.
Live prices everywhere

Homepage, pricing, case study, team and Wave product pages now use subtle count-ups, staggered card reveals and softer calls to action, with reduced-motion preferences respected throughout.
Messages, navigation and installable app polish are steadier across devices.
A small usability pass for the shared surfaces people touch most often.
Clearer focus and card states
Marketing, public and Odrix pages now share calmer hover movement, visible keyboard focus and safer colour fallbacks if page scripts do not run.
Cleaner messages everywhere
Success, warning and error messages now appear through the same polished toast system across the website, portal, app and product pages, with better motion settings and mobile safe-area support.
Better mobile and app-style navigation
The mobile drawer, footer links, foldable layout and installable app details have been tightened so Tidalux feels steadier on phones, tablets and unfolded screens.
The asset host now has clearer service recovery and faster video delivery.
A quiet reliability update for the shared CDN that keeps public assets loading smoothly.
Clearer CDN service pages
The asset host now has dedicated server error pages with direct links to system status, the changelog, admin login and support, so the right next step is visible if something goes wrong.
Smoother video loading
CDN video files now have stronger streaming and caching headers, helping browsers seek and load approved video assets more quickly.
The asset host now has clearer privacy and recovery paths.
A small tidy-up for the quiet part of the platform that serves logos, images and shared assets.
A clearer CDN front door
The asset host now has a simple noindex landing page, a safer not-found page and helpful links for admin access, privacy and support.
The version label now shows up consistently across public footers.
A small visibility fix, because useful release notes should be easy to find from every public face.
Version links now appear where they should
Public product footers now use the same release label and link back to the main changelog, so you can always see what changed most recently.
The website builder now has a clear front door of its own.
A small follow on to our tidier web addresses, so the builder is easy to reach.
A front door for the website builder
Our website builder address now opens straight onto the place where you start a site, so you can go from a blank page to a first draft without hunting for the right link.
A steadier website, a faster on-site assistant, and tidier web addresses.
A handful of small, useful repairs. The sort of thing you should never have to notice.
A steadier website
We fixed a fault that could occasionally leave a page looking blank. Pages now load reliably, and even if something hiccups in the background, the content still shows.
Your website assistant loads faster
The WaveAI chat that sits on your site now loads from a lighter, quicker home, so it appears for your visitors a little sooner.
Tidier web addresses
Our product web addresses now send you to the right place automatically, so you always land where you meant to.
WaveAudit now sends a friendly weekly note on how your website is doing.
We keep an eye on your site so you do not have to, and now we share the good news too, not just the problems.
A weekly website health note
If you have WaveAudit watching your site, you now get a short, plain English email each week with your health score and whether it went up or down. No jargon, no nagging.
The visible version number now follows the real release file more reliably.
A small housekeeping release, because the little labels should tell the truth too.
Footer version now stays honest
The footer and changelog now read the release file directly, so a small patch like this can show as 1.5.1 instead of pretending every update is a bigger launch.
Odrix Bookings now has its own public home, setup flow and booking pages.
This release gives solo traders a tidy way to take bookings and send reminders without running their diary from a message thread.
A booking page for solo traders
Odrix now has a warm, mobile-friendly home on its own domain. It explains the booking and SMS reminder flow clearly, with a simple path to start.
Self-serve setup with secure billing
New customers can create an Odrix account, set up a secure Direct Debit mandate and land in their portal ready to add services and opening hours.
Customer bookings with stale-slot protection
Customers can pick a service, date and time from live availability. If two people try the same slot, only one booking wins and the other person gets a clear prompt to choose again.
A clearer public changelog and visible version number.
This release makes it easier to see what changed, when it changed and why it helps. Small thing, big paper trail.
A changelog normal people can read
We redesigned this page around plain English summaries, friendly headings and grouped releases. You should not need a software dictionary to follow along.
The current version is now in every footer
Public pages, staff screens and client portal pages now link back here with the current Tidalux version. When the VERSION file changes, the footer follows.
WaveAI became more useful, more controlled and easier to trust.
This one was about making AI helpful without letting it run around the shop with scissors.
Branded AI assistants for customer websites
WaveAI can now sit on a customer website as a tidy branded assistant. It answers common questions, gathers useful context and hands over to a person when the conversation needs one.
Usage top-ups for busy assistants
Clients can see their WaveAI allowance and add more usage when they need it. No mystery meter, no surprise scramble when a campaign gets popular.
Safer customer emails and texts
Messages now favour approval before sending, with clearer checks around what goes out. That keeps customer communication useful, calm and less likely to wander off-message.
Faster, cheaper and steadier AI
We tuned the assistant so it uses smarter shortcuts, wastes less and keeps answers reliable. The result is a better experience with a lighter bill behind the scenes.
WaveGuard and WaveAudit landed as practical checks for safer, healthier websites.
A website should look good, behave well and not quietly collect problems in the cupboard.
Online Safety Act checker and monitoring
WaveGuard helps site owners understand safety duties in plain language, then keeps an eye on key risk areas over time. It is a sensible nudge system, not a panic button.
Website health scans with WaveAudit
WaveAudit checks speed, accessibility, search basics and trust signals, then turns the findings into clear next steps. Less "red graph says no", more "fix this first".
Cleaner trust pages and safer wording
Public trust copy now explains privacy, safety and support without exposing internal infrastructure details. Customers get reassurance, not a peek behind the curtain.
WaveSites, support tickets and the installable app made day-to-day use smoother.
This release focused on getting people from "I need help" to "sorted" with fewer clicks and less faff.
Done-for-you websites live in minutes
WaveSites now has a guided start flow for simple, polished websites that can go live quickly. It gathers the right details up front so the build starts with fewer back-and-forth emails.
A proper support ticket centre
Customers can now open and track support requests in a clearer help area. Questions get a home, updates stay tidy and nothing has to live in a mystery inbox.
Installable app support
Tidalux can now be installed on supported phones and desktops for quicker access. It behaves more like an app when you want it close to hand.
The public Tidalux experience became sturdier, clearer and ready for real visitors.
The first public release pulled the essentials into one calmer, stronger place.
A smoother website that holds together
We tightened spacing, navigation, mobile layouts and dark mode so pages feel more polished and less fragile. The site should not fall over because someone opened it on a small screen.
Clearer product pages
WaveAI, WaveGuard, WaveAudit, WaveSites and support pages now explain what they do in friendlier language. Visitors can choose a sensible next step without decoding studio jargon.
Better privacy and search foundations
Public pages received cleaner metadata, better indexing choices and calmer trust wording. The right pages are easier to find, and private areas stay private.
Our promise
If customers can feel it, it belongs here.
Meaningful public changes only: new services, clearer support, safer pages, and polish you can feel.
